Netizens who are still dissatisfied with Tesla's two price increases in 5 days may be crying. Today, some consumers landed on Tesla's official website in China and found that the model Y rear-wheel drive version that had not been affected before had also increased in price.
In march two consecutive price increases, the price of the Model Y rear-wheel drive version has remained at 301,840 yuan, which is the only model in tesla Model 3 and Model Y that has not increased in price, Tesla China official website today showed that the price of this car has been raised to 316,900 yuan, an increase of 15,060 yuan.
This is also the third price increase for Tesla in 7 days since March 10. So far, all models of Tesla's domestic Model 3 and Model Y series have increased in price, with a cumulative increase of 14248 yuan to 30000 yuan.
For this price increase, many Tesla prospective owners said that they were a bit surprised. Some people joked that it may be that the price adjustment on March 15 was forgotten; some people think that Tesla deliberately stayed for two days; some netizens are dissatisfied, thinking that Tess Light has increased the price and does not deliver the car; and some people believe that under the pressure of cost, Tesla will not be ruled out from continuing to reduce allocation in the future.
When it comes to the topic of decommissioning, it is actually not far from us. At the end of last year, some Tesla Model3 and ModelY were found to have reduced the USB interface and mobile phone wireless charging configuration at the time of delivery, and only the interface location was prepared for future replenishment, the Type-C interface could only be charged, and the data reading chip had been removed. At the same time, the passenger waist support adjustment function was abolished, and the place where the original waist support adjustment button was changed became a filling. At the time, Musk said the part was barely used and not worth adding to the cost/quality, especially in the event of a supply shortage.
For the recent several consecutive price increases, Tesla officials did not give a clear reason. Some people believe that although the rise in raw material prices may be a factor, but car companies can not increase prices so casually, "three times in 7 days, may create the Chinese car market single car companies to increase the frequency of the most", so it is not excluded that Tesla will increase prices as a sales strategy.
In addition, it is reported that according to an internal communication and notice issued to suppliers, Tesla's Shanghai factory suspended production for two days on Wednesday (yesterday) and Thursday (today). Tesla responded to the move in order to cooperate with the Shanghai Municipal Government's nucleic acid testing and other epidemic prevention requirements. This is bound to exacerbate the market's concerns about Tesla's delivery ability.
Frequent price increases have also put pressure on car buyers. Someone asked on the Internet: Next, will Tesla rise fourth?
