On March 17, Tesla's official website in China showed that the price of the Model Y entry-level after-drive version of the model was raised from the previous 301,840 yuan to 316,900 yuan, and the price increase reached 15,000. In just 8 days, Model Y ushered in the second price increase, the cumulative increase has been close to 30,000 yuan, the current price of the three versions of 316900 yuan, 375900 yuan and 417900 yuan.
In addition to the sudden "price increase for two consecutive years", the delivery date has also been extended to 10 to 14 weeks, and now the order will have to wait at least two or three months to mention the existing car. I have to say that Tesla's price increase is more fierce than the oil price, and the oil price can be added less when the price rises, and this Tesla price increase can make many people call out that they can't afford it.
It is more gratifying that the price of the Model 3 standard endurance version is still maintained at 279,900 yuan, and the suggestion of wanting to buy a car has been shot quickly, Xiao Lei is expected to take a long time, the price of the standard version will also rise, and so the party can be described as "a failure" in front of the electric vehicle.
Under the multiple influences of the global shortage of chips and raw materials, the delivery of new cars has become a problem for various car companies, as the core component of electric vehicles, the price of power batteries has risen steadily, and the cost of car manufacturing has risen sharply. A number of car companies other than Tesla have issued price increase notices, BYD's many models have risen by 3,000 to 6,000 yuan, and even "old man le" models such as Wuling Hongguang MINIEV are not spared, coupled with rising premiums and subsidies for new energy vehicles, once again hitting consumers' desire to buy cars.
Although the price of fuel vehicles is not as crazy as that of electric vehicles, the recent oil prices have soared like "wild horses that have lost their reins". Starting tomorrow, No. 92 and No. 95 gasoline will enter the 9 yuan era, and it will cost thirty or forty yuan to fill a tank of fuel, not to mention the maintenance cost of fuel vehicles on weekdays.
Rising oil prices have also stimulated the market for new energy vehicles, with a large number of car owners considering switching to electric vehicles, and Tesla car orders in the United States surging, even rising by more than 100%. Tesla's supply of new cars is already tight, because the price increase of gasoline has put more pressure on electric vehicle manufacturers, and price increases are inevitable.
Then again, Xiao Lei believes that at this stage, whether it is to buy a fuel car or an electric car, it is not cost-effective, if it is not necessary, or public transportation, cycling is more appropriate, but if you are in a hurry to buy a car, it is natural to buy the better, after all, buy early and enjoy early, buy late and increase the price.
