AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/02 Report--

Recently, a major piece of news is that Tesla announced a sharp price reduction for all series of models, each with a different degree of price reduction, with a comprehensive price of no more than 900000 yuan in China. For example, the entry-level version of the long-range rear wheel drive version Model 3 is reduced by 26000 yuan and now sells for 407000 yuan, while the biggest price reduction is Model X P100D, which is reduced by 341100 yuan and now sells for 848200 yuan.

This price reduction has also involved some lawyers. Today, several lawyers sent lawyer letters to Tesla. The lawyer's letter concerns not only the dissatisfaction caused by the price reduction, but also the criticism of Tesla's sales style in China and his brand image in China. However, most netizens believe that cars belong to electronic products, and when they buy a car, they also sign a contract, and consumers should have the spirit of contract, whether it is a price reduction or an increase in prices.

Due to the sudden tide of price cuts, causing dissatisfaction among some Tesla car owners, there have been consumer organizations to safeguard their rights.

The banner states: Tesla reduces prices at will, infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers!

It is also strange to say that a car price reduction is beneficial to consumers, but for some old car owners, they do not think so. They think that the manufacturer's price reduction is a kind of harm to the old car owners, there is a psychological imbalance, and the valuation of second-hand cars is bound to cause losses. Tesla is required to make compensation.

Therefore, netizens also raised the topic of "allow to rise but not to fall" and "only take advantage and never lose money". Why didn't these car owners take the initiative to compensate Tesla when Tesla went up in price?

Generally speaking, the price reduction is small, the consumer response will not be so big, if the range exceeds a certain limit, consumers will have an opinion, which is also a common phenomenon, such as housing prices.

The biggest price reduction of the Tesla model is the P100D model, with the Model S P100D falling by 277500 yuan and the Model X P100D by 341100 yuan. Take the Model X P100D as an example, the price of this model has been floating for more than a year, with the price between 12-1.6 million yuan, which involves official price adjustment or tariff. If the original purchase price of 1.6 million is calculated, now the price has dropped to 848200 yuan, and the guidance price has dropped by as much as 750000 in more than a year.

Of course, Tesla is also aware of this phenomenon and gives a compensation plan.

According to Tesla's team announcement, all car owners who buy Tesla before the price reduction can buy Autopilot autopilot system or fully autopilot function at half price. Starting next month, older car owners will be able to upgrade to Autopilot autopilot for $2000 (original price: $4000) or an additional $3000 for fully autopilot (original price: $7000).

Whether it is Tesla's price reduction, or the incident of safeguarding the rights of old car owners, it is one of the strange events in automobile history.
