The Tesla Model Y Much Cheaper Before Becoming More Expensive

To understand Tesla’s pricing, you need to get up early. A little surprise this morning with €4,000 off on stock models.

Tesla announced earlier this week that prices for the Model Y would increase on March 22. The manufacturer admitted that the price hike would be around €2,000 depending on the markets, which would bring the price in France to €44,990 before ecological bonus, i.e., €40,990 actual.

From a purely factual point of view, nothing really explains this price increase while technology continues to decrease in cost. Is it an urgent need to send a profitability message to financial analysts? That’s likely!

But surprise this Thursday morning, March 21, with Tesla Model Y in stock starting at €37,480! That’s a €4,000 discount plus a €4,000 ecological bonus! Members of the Facebook group “Tesla Model Y in French” even noted stock at €34,990 around 1:00 a.m.!

Tesla has always acted this way, adjusting its stock management and supply and demand in real time. If there are no cars to deliver, prices go up. If stocks are plentiful, prices go down.

But what about the consumer? In 24 hours, the price of your dream car can fluctuate by €6,000 up or down. Beyond a certain level of disrespect for the customer, it also becomes a barrier to purchase. A sort of “tomorrow it’s free” approach that delays buying, waiting for the daily promotion.
