The Tesla Model 3 increases again by 1,000 to 2,000 euros, now exceeding 50,000 euros for the base version, while delivery times can reach up to 1 year!
Inflation is affecting all sectors, especially the automotive industry, which relies on thousands of components sourced from all over the world. Tesla responds with a gradual and significant price increase.
Increase of 1,000 to 2,000 euros
Over the past few weeks, the Model 3 prices have soared. It was only starting at 43,990 euros earlier in 2022, then jumped to 49,990 euros in April. At the end of May, the manufacturer announced a new increase of 1,000 euros. The entry-level Propulsion version with 491 km of range now costs 50,990 euros. Inflation is also impacting the other two versions of this electric sedan.
The Long Range variant increases to 59,990 euros, a rise of 1,000 euros, without any change in features. The Propulsion and Long Range versions still qualify for the ecological bonus, which will be 1,000 euros, applicable for deliveries after July 1, 2022.
Finally, the top-of-the-line Tesla Model 3 Performance increases by 2,000 euros, reaching 64,990 euros, still not compatible with the ecological bonus.
The Tesla Model 3 has up to a one-year wait!
If you opt for the most powerful version, be aware that delivery times are already between 4 to 6 months. The official website states that orders placed today will only arrive between September and November. The situation is different for the other versions.
For a Model 3 Long Range or Propulsion, you will need to wait until at least January 2023 or even March 2023. And this applies to paid colors, since the standard free white paint has delivery estimates between April and June 2023! A tip: if you choose options like 19-inch sports wheels or white interior (each costing 1,190 euros), they shorten the wait by 3 months.
As for the Tesla Model Y manufactured in Germany, it does not change its pricing or remaining shorter delivery times.
A return of Model S and X?
The “older” models in the lineup are still unavailable. Tesla Model S and Model X were removed from order lists after their update last year. Elon Musk explained that priority was given to producing other Model 3 and Y versions.
The large sedan and its SUV variant are thus only available in North America. They start at $104,490 (97,240 euros) and $120,490 (112,130 euros) respectively.
