AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/24 Report--

Tesla Model 3 and Model Y raised prices again, by 4752 yuan, according to Tesla's Chinese official website.

The relevant information on its official website shows:

Tesla Model 3 rear wheel drive ordinary version, previously priced at 250900 yuan, is now up to 255652 yuan.

Tesla Model Y rear wheel drive ordinary version, previously priced at 276000 yuan, is now up to 280752 yuan.

In terms of configuration, compared with the previous price increase and reduction, the configuration information of this price increase remains unchanged.

As for the reason for the price increase this time, the reason is the change of new energy subsidy policy.

Tesla responded to the price increases of Model 3 and Model Y because of the decline of national new energy subsidies next year. According to its website, the delivery dates of domestic Model 3 and Model Y rear wheel drive models decided after November 24 are expected to be the first quarter of 2022, and car owners who have been decided before will not be affected.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, Tesla Model X, Model S and Moldel Y series have all carried out price increase strategies to varying degrees. Only five days ago, Truss raised the price of the domestic Model 3 rear wheel drive version by 15000 yuan to 250900 yuan. Before that, Truss also adjusted the price several times, such as:

In March, Tesla raised the price of all Moldel Y models by 8000 yuan.

In July, the long-lasting versions of Model S and Model X were raised by 30, 000 yuan

In August, the long-lasting versions of Model S and Model X increased the price by another 30, 000 yuan.

In September, the price of the high-performance version of Model Y Performance was raised by 10,000 yuan again.

In October, the prices of the long-lasting versions of Model S and Model X were raised by another 30, 000 yuan.

The industry believes that the main reason for Tesla's continuous price increases is affected by the insufficient supply of raw materials such as chips and steel. When releasing the third-quarter results, Tesla revealed that the company was facing the pressure of rising raw materials, so the price of cars had to be raised. Of course, if the upstream supply chain can be restored, it does not rule out the possibility of price reduction in the future.

Truss is also facing driving safety problems at the same time as the price increases. Earlier, Tesla owners in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and South Korea all pointed out on social media that Tesla's mobile phone App had been disconnected, although Musk apologized online at the time and said he would ensure that it would not happen again, but netizens did not seem to buy it.

Back to the issue of price increases in Truss, in response to the recent price increases by Truss, Tesla CEO Musk pointed out: its goal is to make cars as cheap as possible, the current price increase is only temporary, he hopes to reduce car prices over time.

Interestingly, on July 27th this year, Tesla said that Tesla 4680 battery is expected to be put into production next year. The advantage of 4680 battery is that the battery capacity is higher, the cost is lower, and it can also increase the range of electric vehicles. Netizens speculate that this plan may help reduce the price of electric vehicles after delivery. Truss's price increase has also triggered bold speculation among netizens: does Truss want to raise the price first and then reduce the price after 4680 batteries are produced? Of course, this is only a guess, 4680 battery mass production will be reduced prices and wait for time to verify.

"it is hoped that in the near future, not only Chinese-made (Tesla) models will achieve nearly 100% local productivity," Tao Lin, vice president of Tesla, said in an interview at the fourth China Expo. It may also be possible to see (Tesla) models designed and manufactured entirely independently by the Chinese team driving on Chinese roads. In other words, the current domestic production of Tesla models are still not fully domestic, once the realization of nearly 100% domestic production, Tesla will have room for further price reduction.
