On April 24, Tesla CEO Musk said in an interview that there is nothing unfair about price increases, and demand is there. He believes that the reason for Tesla's price increase is not only the rise in raw material costs, but also because there are too many consumers who buy Tesla, and the demand is too large, resulting in a shortage of products, even if the company plans to increase production capacity by 50% this year, it still cannot meet the market.
Tesla previously announced its financial report for the first quarter of 2022, which showed total revenue of $18.756 billion, an increase of 81% from $10.389 billion in the same period last year. Total car sales were 310048 units, up 68% year-on-year, of which the total sales volume of Tesla Model 3/Y was 295,000 units, and the total sales volume of Tesla Model X/S was 15,000 units, and a rough calculation can be calculated that the profit of one car is about 10,700 US dollars, that is, 68,000 yuan, and the gross profit margin of single vehicles is as high as 32.9%.
You know, such a gross profit margin is not to say that it is an ordinary brand such as Volkswagen and Toyota, even mercedes-Benz, BMW and other luxury brands can only sigh inferiorly, so Tesla is currently the world's most profitable car company, and it is also rising in price, and Musk and consumers who buy Tesla actually feel that it is normal, to know that the profit margin of many domestic car companies is only 5%-10%.
For car companies, profit is definitely the primary purpose, Musk opened the company is not to do charity, but the price should at least be worthy of product power, take the model 3 and Model Y interior, that is not called simple wind at all, but simple wind, and its workmanship has been complained about, not at all like a 250,000 yuan product.
What do you think about that? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
