Tesla to Increase Model Y Prices in Europe and the US
Tesla announces price hikes for its Model Y electric vehicles starting April 1, aiming to boost first-quarter deliveries.
- Tesla will raise the price of Model Y electric vehicles by approximately 2,000 euros in parts of Europe and by $1,000 in the US.
- The price increases are part of Tesla's strategy to incentivize customers to place orders before the end of the quarter.
- Tesla's direct-to-consumer sales model means unsold inventory directly impacts its financials.
- In addition to price hikes, Tesla is offering incentives such as up to 10,000 free Supercharging miles and three months of free Full Self-Driving package.
- The company delivered 484,507 vehicles in the last quarter of 2023, with the impact of the price increase and incentives on Q1 deliveries to be announced next month.
