Tesla adjusts prices again: Model series all increase by around RMB 10,000

Although Tesla has built a factory in China, the move still has not kept up with the trend of policies and situations. On August 30, 2019, Tesla China’s official website adjusted the selling price of the Model series, and each Model product increased by about 10,000 yuan.

In terms of details, the price of Model 3 standard range upgrade version (imported version) increased from 355,900 yuan to 363,900 yuan; the price of Model 3 high-performance version increased from 499,900 yuan to 509,900 yuan; the price of Model S high-performance version increased from 875,700 yuan to 893,900 yuan; the price of Model S high-performance version increased from 875,700 yuan to 893,900 yuan.

Earlier, Reuters stated that as Sino-US trade competition intensifies, Tesla will raise prices for its Model series in the Chinese market in August. If China continues to impose tariffs, Tesla may raise prices again in December.

Previously, China’s Ministry of Commerce announced that it would impose tariffs of 25% and 5% on imported cars and auto parts from the United States, respectively. This was a bolt from the blue for the Model series, which is still imported. Therefore, if Tesla wants to break the impasse, it must enable its Shanghai factory to realize localized production as soon as possible.
