Tesla has prepared a pleasant discount for Czech customers on the basic version of the Model 3, which is now available for less than a million crowns. It is not the first time that the car company has broken this magical boundary, but this time it is not a limited-time offer. And the configuration of the Model 3 was also supplemented by a completely new version with an extreme range of over 700 kilometers per charge.
Tesla has long stopped paying for goods for the top ten thousand. Elon Musk’s company kicked off the gradual discounting of the Model 3 and Model Y in 2023, bringing their price closer and closer to internal combustion cars. This applies doubly to those who take advantage of subsidy incentives from the state. The Model 3 can be purchased with them for 779,990 crowns after the last discount.
Breaking the threshold of one million crowns took place for Model 3 in the past as well. At that time, of course, it was an event during which Tesla got rid of stock items, and for example offered the Model 3 in blue for 990,560 crowns. But now it’s available at an even lower price and it doesn’t matter what paint color you choose.
The basic version with rear-wheel drive, paper range of 513 kilometers is available for 979,990 crowns. If entrepreneurs or companies use the subsidy for the purchase, which in this case can be up to 200,000 crowns, they receive the announced amount of less than 800,000 crowns. An interesting fact is that the subsidy has been used most often for Tesla cars.
The discount also affected the Long Range version with two electric motors driving all four wheels and a range of 629 kilometers. It was discounted to the amount of 1,204,990 crowns. However, the price of the Performance version has held up and the most powerful configuration is still available for 1,405,990 crowns, i.e. the same price as when we tested it.
And then there is the fourth, completely new configuration of the Model 3. This is the Long Range version with rear-wheel drive, which, although it offers slightly worse dynamic characteristics than the one with all-wheel drive, but this means an extension of the range to a paper value of 702 kilometers. The real range will of course be lower, but it is likely that the Model 3 in this variant can move from Prague to Mezizdroj, 586 kilometers away, located by the Baltic Sea in Poland, on a single charge.
To this range, the rear-wheel drive Model 3 Long Range adds acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 201 kilometers per hour. It is available on the Czech market for 1,099,990 crowns.
The discounting of Tesla models comes at a time when the European Commission has its hands tied to introduce additional tariffs on electric cars imported from China. This also applies to Tesla, which supplies not only the Chinese but also the European market with cars manufactured in Shanghai. In the case of Tesla, the duty was supposed to jump by more than twenty percent, and the automaker raised prices in response to the decision before the holidays. Now, however, it looks like Tesla will avoid a sharper increase in tariffs, and the price of the cars may thus decrease.
