Oil prices continue to soar, in the first half of 2020, the international oil price once hit a record of negative oil prices, when the owners of fuel vehicles can be described as a spring breeze, but with the soaring oil prices, the cost of the car also continued to soar.
The soaring oil price will lead to an increase in logistics costs and an increase in social inflation, but it is not bearish for all industries, at least it is good news for the new energy automobile industry.
Some U.S. consumers reportedly switched to electric vehicles as oil prices soared, which increased Tesla's orders in parts of the U.S. by 100 percent.
Gasoline prices have risen to more than $4 a gallon in many parts of the United States, and even $5 per gallon in some regions. In the face of soaring oil prices, Tesla founder Elon Musk said that Tesla and SpaceX are facing huge inflationary pressures on raw materials and logistics, and suggested that the United States should increase oil and gas production.
According to reports, the raw materials used by new energy vehicle companies to produce petroleum, from the aluminum used in the frame to the palladium used in the catalytic converter, to the nickel needed for electric batteries are all rising sharply, and this ultimately requires consumers to pay.
In China, on March 15, Tesla's official website in China showed that in addition to the rear-wheel drive version of the Model Y, the price of four models such as the Model 3 rear-wheel drive version / high-performance version and the Model Y long-endurance version / high-performance version was raised, with an increase of about 5%.
It is worth noting that this is also the second time that Tesla has raised its price in a week. On March 10, Tesla raised the price of model 3 high-performance version and Model Y long-endurance version/high-performance version, with an increase of 10,000 yuan.
In addition, Tesla in the United States has also raised its price across the line, ranging from $2,000 to $12,500. The price of the Model X Plaid model was raised by as much as $12,500. The Model 3 standard endurance upgrade version is raised by $2,000, and the long-endurance version is raised by $4,000.
However, despite the price increase, Tesla's stock price has continued to fall sharply, and since this year, Tesla's stock price has fallen by about 30%, and its market value has fallen below $80 million. China's related new energy vehicle companies, the stock price also fell sharply, at the close of March 14, Weilai's stock price fell by more than 12%, falling by about 55% this year; Xiaopeng Automobile fell nearly 14%, and the ideal automobile stock price fell nearly 21%.
