Suddenly Tesla announced: a big increase in price +20000

On the last day of 2021, Tesla has raised prices again!

It is worth noting that the Model Y after-wheel edition no longer enjoys state subsidies.

It is understood that this is the fifth round of Tesla's price increase in the past six months. It is worth noting that at present, the delivery time of the Model 3 and Model Y series is expected to be 12-16 weeks (about 3 months to 4 months). This means that by booking a car now, it is unlikely that the car will be picked up in the first quarter of 2022.

Some netizens joked that good guys, Tesla is about to become a wealth management product.

After multiple rounds of price cuts in 2020

Tesla opened a crazy price increase mode

This Tesla price increase is only a month after the last price increase.

In addition, while the price increase, Tesla has also fine-tuned the Model 3 configuration, and the endurance has been increased from the original 468 km (NEDC) to 556 km (CLTC), and the acceleration of 100 km/h has increased from 5. 6 seconds reduced to 6. 1 second. The Model Y rear-wheel-drive version accelerates from the original 500 km/h at the same price. Slows down from 6 seconds to 6. 9 seconds.

Counting this price increase, Tesla has completed five price increases in China since August. However, compared with the Chinese market, the US market has risen more outrageously. It is understood that Tesla has raised prices more than a dozen times in the US market this year.

Musk: In the future, cars will be as cheap as possible

As for why the price increase, Tesla CEO Musk previously said at the 2021 annual shareholder meeting, "Our goal is to make the price of the car as cheap as possible." However, our supply chain is under enormous cost pressure, so we have to temporarily raise the price of our cars. However, this is only temporary, and we hope to lower the price of cars over time to make them cheaper. ”

The earnings report shows that Tesla's global inventory turnover days in the third quarter were only 6 days, while in the last quarter, Tesla's indicator was still 9 days.

The reduced inventory turnover days mean that Tesla's production capacity is very tight. Although Tesla solved the chip supply crisis and logistics constraints in the third quarter, supply chain shortages will still be the biggest problem Tesla faces.

Musk expects it could take at least 12 months for supply chain challenges to improve, and Tesla should weather the shortage in 2023. This also means that Tesla still has the possibility of price increases until the supply chain crisis is difficult to completely resolve.

Tesla recalled more than 470,000 vehicles in the United States

Close to global deliveries in 2020

According to the documents, the coaxial cable in the wiring harness of the affected Model 3 will be excessively worn due to repeated opening and closing for a long time, making the rearview camera unable to display the image, affecting the driver's judgment of the situation behind the car, or not conducive to the normal operation of the auxiliary driver.

As a result, Tesla announced a recall for the Model 3 electric car produced from 2017 to 2020. The 2021 Model 3 features a different trunk harness design that is not covered by this recall.

The report also shows that the Model 3 and Model S have defect rates of 1% and 14%, respectively, and production years range from 2014 to 2021.

Seeing this, the fund Jun was stunned, and the million-level Tesla coupe actually had a defect rate of up to 14%, which was much higher than the defect rate of the ordinary model Model 3.

Tesla responded to a skyrocketing premium
