Following the removal of the eco-bonus in France, the Tesla Model 3 has seen its new price increased by 5,000 euros. Is this a good deal otherwise?
Sometimes, bad luck can be good! Until September 2023, Tesla Model 3 maintained an extraordinary reputation. Barely cheaper than new models after applying the eco-bonus. However, the mileage is often high. A sign of reliability to be celebrated.
But since the arrival, in the same September 2023, of the modernized Highlands version, the used car prices have plummeted by about 10,000 euros. Innovation always causes the value of non-trendy products to drop. That’s just how business life goes. An artificial gap must be created between new and old.
However, the announcement of the end of the eco-bonus, effective December 15, 2023, for the Tesla Model 3 could shift the market once again. Now, the electric sedan is expensive, and not everyone will be able to afford it. Consumers will likely have to consider a used model or turn to a more affordable competing offer. At least the Tesla Model Y, which still qualifies for the bonus because it is produced in Germany, with a starting price reduced to 40,990 euros. Unless Tesla also adjusts the Model 3 price in France as it has already done in Germany…
Currently, the starting prices of a used Model 3 are around 22,000 euros for an example with over 200,000 kilometers on the odometer.
