Open the Home Tesla forum, if you do not understand the situation, you will think that Tesla has recently launched a limited number of rush models, because of the nearly 50 posts on the first page of the entire forum, almost half of them are to resell new car orders, and almost half are to add money to buy new car orders, which is very interesting.
The reason for all this is beyond doubt, precisely because in the short five days from 3.10 to 3.15, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y models have raised prices twice, and some models have increased their prices twice, and some models have increased by the highest 21,088 yuan, with an average daily price increase of more than 4,000 yuan.
For prospective car owners who have been willing to buy a car before, the order is now stepping on the high price, but if you have the opportunity to add some money to get an order before the price increase from elsewhere, it is still cost-effective, so there is the scene in the forum.
"Originally wanted to be a party waiting, the price went down to about 20 and then started, did not expect that the price has been rising in the recent period, a little panic, so come to see if there is a suitable order transfer before" This is Mr. Li's original words, but also Mr. Li posted on the forum to ask for transfer orders.
Mr. Li is the prospective owner of the rear-wheel-drive version of the Tesla Model 3 and has long been willing to buy a new car.
▲ At the end of July 2021, tesla Model 3 standard endurance upgrade version price is the lowest.
However, due to the fact that it is not very anxious to buy a car, after Tesla experienced several rounds of price cuts last year, the price of Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive version (standard endurance upgrade version) was once reduced to 235900 yuan, holding the idea of waiting for the final victory of the party, Mr. Li chose to continue to wait for the opportunity of price reduction.
However, what I did not expect is that today, the price of Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive version has not dropped but has risen, from the lowest level of 235900 yuan last year to 279900 yuan, and the price has increased by more than 40,000 compared with the lowest level last year.
At the same time, as of the time of this article, according to the latest price displayed on Tesla China's official website, the price of the current Model 3 high-performance version has also been adjusted to 367,900 yuan, up 18,000 yuan from the price of the previous round of 349,900 yuan; the price of the Model Y rear-wheel drive version has been raised to 316,900, an increase of 15,000 yuan over the price of the previous round of 301,800 yuan. The price of the high-performance version was 375,900 yuan and 417,900 yuan respectively, up 18,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan from the price of 357,900 yuan and 397,900 yuan in the previous round.
That is to say, in addition to the version that Mr. Li himself wants to buy, Tesla's domestic models on sale have increased in price across the board.
At the same time, due to the influence of various factors, the current new energy vehicle market, the recent announcement of price increase models is far more than Tesla. In the recent list of popular new energy models in AutoLab statistics, there are 25 models, of which the highest price increase rate is 12.0%.
Therefore, Mr. Li is finally a little unable to sit still now, lest he not start at this time, and the cost of starting in the future will increase.
In his original words, "Originally I bought a Tesla to replace the oil car in the city, I didn't expect that the car has not been bought now, the price has risen so much compared to last year, I wanted to quickly find a suitable price to start with, and the embarrassing thing is that the oil price has risen sharply recently..."
Before AutoLab contacted Mr. Li, Mr. Li had already had some communication with the "scalper" of the transfer order on other platforms.
According to Mr. Li, the current Model 3 rear-wheel drive version of the lowest price of 235,900 new car orders, due to the low price and early order time, in the "scalper" side to increase the price of at least 25,000 transfer fees, if it is a pure naked car without any options, there is no FSD package, the transfer fee is a little higher.
In the same situation, the previous new car order priced at 255,600 yuan, the transfer fee is also about 10,000, in addition to the low-end version, the model 3 high-performance version of the transfer price is relatively cheap, but the specific amount of cheaper depends on the situation.
At present, Tesla's new car purchase process is roughly like this, the prospective owner booked in an online or offline physical store, paid a deposit after booking, and then Tesla arranged vehicle production, after paying the deposit, if you do not buy a car, it is equivalent to a breach of contract, the deposit is not refunded, but here you can change the car buyer information, and when you pick up the car, the car buyer pays the remaining balance.
Although as of press time, Mr. Li has not found a more suitable transfer order, but Mr. Li told me that he should not continue to wait, "anyway, to buy, buy early and save trouble, this wave of three-fold price, mainly affect the mood ..."
