Not only in the Chinese market, Tesla has opened a new round of big price cuts around the world, especially in the US market, ranging from 6% to 20%.
Among them, the Model Y long-range version has a price reduction of 13,000 US dollars (about 88,000 yuan) to 52,990 US dollars, a decrease of 20%; The Model Y high-performance version was reduced by $13,000 to $56,990, a 19% decrease.
In addition, models such as the Model 3, Model S and Model X have also been reduced from $3,000 to $21,000.
The large price reduction in China has caused many car owners to protect their rights, and the large price reduction abroad has also caused dissatisfaction among many car owners, especially new car owners.
Marianne Simmons, a web designer and former Tesla fan, bought a white, high-performance Model Y last September for more than $77,000, her second Tesla.
After Tesla's price cut, Simmons discovered that she could have bought the same model for $13,000 less, less than four months later.
"I felt like I had been scammed, and from the beginning, I spent an extra $13,306," she said. At the same time, he said that he would never buy Tesla vehicles in the future, and may switch to Lucid or Rivian.
Even worse than Simmons is cloud services developer Jack Bradham, from Charlotte, North Carolina, who just ordered a black-long-range Model Y in December and was told he wouldn't be able to pick it up until January.
But on December 10, he was told by phone that he could pick up the car around Christmas, and it was naturally very exciting to get the car in advance, so he immediately bought the car for the original price of $69,000, and now the car is $12,000 cheaper, much to his great annoyance.
The same thing happened to Andrew Checketts, who bought a seven-seat Model Y last December for $3,750 off and would have been left with several times as much money left if he waited.
This annoyed Checks, who said that he had planned to install Tesla's solar panels, but was now unwilling to spend money on any Tesla products, and said that he was even so disgusted that he went out in the morning and did not want to take another look at the Model Y he bought.
