After price drops in China, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are also considerably cheaper in our country: up to 18 percent lower price | Mobility

The new prices were noticed by loyal fans of the brand and news agency Reuters. In Europe and the United States, the price drops on certain models are significant. For example, the starting price of a Tesla Model Y Long Range in the US drops by 20 percent.

In our country, too, the biggest price drop is for that model, by 18 percent. Today you pay 12,000 euros less than yesterday. The smaller Tesla Model 3 Long Range drops 9,000 euros in price or 14.5 percent. You now pay 8,000 euros or 15 percent less for a Tesla Model 3 with rear-wheel drive.

Berith Selling, spokeswoman for Tesla Benelux, confirms the new prices to our editors. The explanation can be found in a decrease in production costs. “Having had a turbulent year of supply chain disruptions, we are seeing a normalization of some cost inflation,” she said by email. The increase in “local car production” and “further economies of scale” also ensure cheaper Teslas in Europe.

Friday last week Tesla announced price drops for the Chinese market. There, the price for the Model 3 and Model Y dropped by almost 25 percent. Hundreds of owners gathered at showrooms and distribution centers to demand that Tesla pay them the price difference, as shown in the video above.
