Tesla's price cuts in Taiwan are even more severe than in mainland China, and car owners are devastated

On the 1st, Tesla's entire range of models saw a significant price adjustment in China, with the highest price reduction in mainland China reaching RMB 341,100, which angered many car owners who had just purchased the brand's cars. According to Taiwanese media reports, Tesla's highest price reduction in Taiwan reached 46%, with an electric car that originally cost more than NT$6 million (about RMB 1.3 million) being almost "cut in half" to more than NT$3 million (about RMB 650,000).

According to Taiwanese media reports, at least 40 angry Tesla owners gathered at Tesla's headquarters in Taiwan on the 3rd to protest. As the price of new cars dropped too much, it greatly affected the market price of used cars. Assuming that the original owner has not yet repaid the loan, the remaining money may be used to directly buy a new one, and the selling price directly "bubbled" and collapsed.

A Taiwanese car owner said that he was shocked when he saw his phone when he woke up, "I woke up and 1.8 million of my car's value was gone." Another car owner named Luo said that he bought an X100D for 5.5 million New Taiwan dollars in 2018, and he still had more than 3 million of the 4.2 million loan from the bank to pay, "I can buy a new one now."
