Permalink | Email this | CommentsTesla hikes Model 3, Model Y prices slightly in China
Tesla's move could help dispel the wait-and-see sentiment of some potential consumers, which could benefit sales in the near term.
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has raised prices for its entire Model 3 and Model Y lineup in China in a move that appears to be aimed at dispelling consumer wait-and-see sentiment.
Tesla has a factory in Shanghai that makes the Model 3 and Model Y, and their prices in China have all been raised by 2,000 yuan ($289), or less than 1 percent.
The company now offers two versions of the Model 3 in China -- the rear-wheel drive Model 3 and the dual-motor all-wheel drive Model 3 Performance -- and three versions of the Model Y -- the entry version Model Y, Model Y Long Range, and Model Y Performance.
The two versions of the Model 3 currently start at RMB 231,900 and RMB 331,900, respectively, and the three versions of the Model Y start at RMB 263,900, RMB 313,900 and RMB 363,900, respectively.
Expected delivery dates for all of these Tesla models remain unchanged from previous dates, with 1-4 weeks for both versions of the Model 3, 2-5 weeks for both the base Model Y as well as the Model Y Long Range, and 1-4 weeks for the Model Y Performance.
Last month, Tesla lowered the prices of the Model 3 as well as the Model Y in several markets around the world, raising concerns about whether it would lower prices in the Chinese mainland.
On April 15, Grace Tao, Tesla's vice president of external affairs, shared several charts on Weibo showing that all versions of the Model 3 and Model Y available in the Chinese mainland are priced lower than in all other markets.
Tao shared the charts without comment, although the move appears to suggest that Tesla won't be dropping prices in China in the near term.
Tesla's move today could help dispel the wait-and-see mood of some potential consumers, which could benefit sales in the near term.
The electric vehicle maker delivered 76,663 vehicles in China in March, and its Shanghai plant exported 12,206 units, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
Retail sales of the Model 3 in China in March were 21,726 units and 54,937 units of the Model Y.

Permalink | Email this | CommentsInsurance registrations for week ending Apr 23: Tesla 10,300, Li Auto 7,200, NIO 2,000
NIO sold 2,000 units last week, up from 700 the week before and 1,316 in the first week of April.
Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) maintained strong sales last week, and NIO (NYSE: NIO) saw a significant rebound, the latest data show.
With 7,200 units sold in the week ending April 23, Li Auto far outpaced other new car-making brands, the automaker said today on Weibo.
With deliveries of the Air versions of the Li L8 and Li L7, Li Auto's weekly sales hit another record high, it said.
Li Auto didn't specify what statistic that sales figure was based on, though apparently, it was insurance registrations. Previously, we had access to those numbers every Tuesday, and Li Auto's practice was to share some of them on Wednesdays.
The main third-party agencies and Weibo bloggers that provide data on auto insurance registrations in China stopped sharing the data this month, but Li Auto continues to share some of it.
This is the first time Li Auto has shared those numbers on a Tuesday, though they weren't taken down to single digits.
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) sold 10,300 units last week, according to the table shared by Li Auto. That was down from 12,500 units the week before and up from 6,973 units in the first week of April.
NIO sold 2,000 units last week, up from 700 the week before and 1,316 in the first week of April.
XPeng (NYSE: XPEV) sold 1,900 units last week, up from 1,300 units and 904 units in the previous two weeks.
Zeekr sold 2,100 units last week, up from 1,600 units the previous week and 1,476 units in the first week of April.
Among luxury brands, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi had the highest sales last week with 15,800, 15,600 and 14,800 respectively, according to data shared by Li Auto.
Insurance registrations for week ending Apr 16: Tesla 12,500, Li Auto 6,300, NIO 700
