Five days ago, on March 10, Tesla China officially announced that the high-end Model 3 high-performance version and the Model Y long-endurance version/ high-performance version both rose by 10,000 yuan. In addition to the price increase of domestic Tesla, tesla's price in the United States has also increased accordingly. Tesla's official website in the United States shows that all models currently on sale have been raised by $2,000 to $12,500.
Unexpectedly, in less than a week, another price increase was carried out, which was comparable to the rise in oil prices! The party has to wipe away its tears. Model 3 high-performance version and Model Y long-endurance, high-performance version, in just 5 days, the above three models have increased in price by 28,000 yuan, 28,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan.
Many people are surprised by Tesla's price increase this time, but in fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of this year's new energy vehicle price increase.
Since 2021, Tesla has raised prices many times in China. Some people analyze again, this time Tesla is also helpless, looking at the current environment, Tesla may be partly because of the upstream link of raw material prices rise, supply chain tension, cost pressure increased.
The rise in raw material prices has always been one of the important reasons for the price increase of new energy vehicles, and at the beginning of this year, the prices of lithium, cobalt, nickel and other materials upstream of the new energy vehicle supply chain are in a state of crazy rise. Recently, the average price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has exceeded 500,000 yuan / ton, an increase of 900% over the beginning of 2021, and nickel is also the same value soaring. Do not check do not know, this raw material cost is really exaggerated.
In addition, due to the continuous impact of the international situation and the epidemic, the chip supply chain is also very fragile, and various prices continue to rise.
And the pressure of domestic new energy vehicle subsidies to decline, and finally to the terminal sales transmission is very obvious, before, new energy vehicle companies also ushered in a wave of price increases, Xiaopeng, Weima, Nezha, Feifan, Ji Kr, BYD, SAIC Roewe, SAIC-GM-Wuling and other car companies new energy models have announced price increases.
Some insiders said that the price increase of new energy vehicle products is also unavoidable, it is really forced by the situation, you have to say that Tesla is excessive, it is really not Musk deliberately looking for scolding, it is really no way.
From 2022, the subsidy for new energy vehicles will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021, and the subsidy will be terminated until December 31, 2022. The official withdrawal of new energy market subsidies also means that the "policy dividends" that new energy vehicle companies can enjoy are gradually disappearing.
Many people predict that the price increase of new energy vehicles this year may continue, and at this time, "buy early and enjoy early" should be moved out and used.
