Three days after its launch, the Tesla Model 3 Performance already sees its price adjusted upwards by $1,000, or €935!
Is there a pilot in the plane? Or has Tesla also engaged the autopilot and let the algorithms manage the prices to be set? We wouldn’t be surprised.
Why such a question? Because just three days after the launch of its new Model 3 Performance, Tesla has already initiated a “price adjustment” of $1,000 in the United States. But this time, it’s an increase. Nothing in Europe for now, but that could change soon as well. That said, in France where this offer is priced at €55,990, the Model 3 Performance is indeed well-placed against thermal rivals undermined by the ecological penalty.
Why this increase?
The blame can be placed on the media, which unanimously judged Tesla’s offer to be very affordable considering the performance and overall features of this Model 3 Performance. And Tesla desperately needs profitability and margins per car sold, so the opportunity was too good to ignore…
Now, the Tesla Model 3 Performance is priced at $53,990 (€50,450), from which the federal rebate of $7,500 must be deducted (bringing it to $46,490 or €43,400)… before adding VAT. VAT varies from one federal state to another, with some states having a rate of 0%. The national average VAT rate in the United States is 8%, resulting in an approximate final price of €46,900. This is indeed unbeatable for such a 460-horsepower car capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and traveling over 520 kilometers on a single charge.
