Tesla will cut its price this Saturday, with Model Y series down by 43,000 yuan and Model Y series down by 46,000 yuan.

Many netizens leave messages:

In response to the news of Tesla's price reduction, CMZ went to Tesla for verification, and the staff in the store responded that "there is no news".

In fact, looking back at Tesla's previous price cuts, almost no one predicted the success of Tesla's specific price cuts, otherwise there would be no "rights protection tide" on the day of Tesla's price cuts.

However, don't be disappointed, Tesla will definitely cut prices in the second half of the year.

Reason one:

Recently, Tesla has set off a wave of price cuts around the world.

On April 7, Tesla lowered its price in the United States.

Model 3 and Model Y reduced their prices by 65,438+0,000 and 2,000 dollars respectively, while Model S and Model X reduced their prices by 5,000 dollars, with an overall decrease of 2% to 6%.

On April 14, Tesla lowered the price in Denmark.

The price of Tesla Model 3 high-performance version was lowered by 9. 1% to 426,990 kroner, and the price of Model Y high-performance version was lowered by 9.2% to 456,500 kroner.

On April 14, Tesla lowered the price of Singapore.

The prices of Tesla Model 3 and Model Y have been lowered by 4.3% to 5%.

On April 15, Tesla lowered the price in Hong Kong.

Model 3 performance, the price of "buy one get one free" starts from HK$ 440,335, with a decrease of 65,438+04.7%; Model 3 long-life version, the price of "one for one" is HK$ 399,485, with a decrease of11.06%; The long-life version and performance version of Model Y will also be lowered by 8.7% and 9.03% respectively, to HK$ 459,685 and HK$ 487,205 respectively.

On April 18, Tesla lowered the price in North America again.

The price of the long-life version of Model Y was lowered by 9. 1% from $52,990 to $49,990, the price of the high-performance version of Model Y was lowered by 8.5% from $56,990 to $53,990, and the price of the rear-wheel drive version of Model 3 was lowered by 7% from $4 1990 to $39,990.

Reason two:

Tesla's sales target this year is 2 million vehicles, which means that Tesla needs to sell an average of 65,438+067,000 vehicles per month.

During this year1-March, Tesla sold 229,000 vehicles, which did not meet expectations.

In the second half of the year, Tesla will definitely change the price.

Reason three:

In recent months, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate, the raw material of new energy vehicles, has continued to fall, falling by 60% from a high level.

This means that the battery production cost is reduced by at least half, and a pure electric vehicle can save at least 30-40% of the production cost, leaving a lot of room for car companies to reduce prices, especially in the current fierce price war of new energy vehicles. Tesla will definitely give up profits and choose to increase distribution or reduce prices in exchange for the market.

Reason four:

Musk has repeatedly said on social media platforms that many people want to buy a Tesla tram, but they may not be able to afford it, so only by lowering the price of cars can we truly meet the needs of the public.

Recently, Musk even said that Tesla is more likely to sell vehicles with a profit of 0 in the future.

Reason five:

At present, only BYD can be compared with Tesla in China. Recently, the news of BYD's price reduction has frequently appeared in newspapers.

Competitors are cutting prices, and I believe Tesla can't sit still.
