Tesla (TSLA:NSD) Boosts Prices on EV’s as Margins Narrow

Tesla Raises Prices

Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) has recently implemented a modest increase in the prices of its electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States. On Thursday May 11th, the company raised the prices of its Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles by low single-digit percentages, though the prices remain considerably lower than they were at the beginning of the year.

The price hike resulted in an increase of $1,000 for all variants of the higher-priced Model S and Model X vehicles, while the prices of all Model Y variants increased by $250, as shown on Tesla’s website. These adjustments represent a rise of about 0.5% to 1.1% since the last changes in price.

This is the second price increase for the Model S, Model X, and Model Y cars since April 19, when Tesla last reduced prices for some of its vehicles in the U.S. However, the prices of the company’s most affordable car, the Model 3, have remained unchanged since the earlier price adjustment in May.

Tesla has been implementing price cuts globally since January, including six times in the U.S., as part of its strategy to drive sales volume. CEO Elon Musk has expressed a willingness to sacrifice margin for the sake of sales volume. However, the company is also looking to gradually increase prices to improve profitability.

Even with the recent price hike, the base models of the Model S and Model X cars are still 16% and 19% cheaper, respectively, compared to the prices at the beginning of the year. Similarly, the long-range version of the Model Y remains approximately 23% cheaper.

As of now, the Model S is priced at $88,490, while the Model X carries a price tag of $98,490. The performance versions of both models now have a price of $108,490. Regarding the Model Y, the long-range and performance variants are priced at $47,490, $50,490, and $54,490, respectively.

In a separate development, Tesla’s Japan unit has announced that it is now accepting orders for its flagship sedan, the Model S, and its sports utility vehicle, the Model X, in the country. This move reflects Tesla’s ongoing expansion efforts and its commitment to tapping into new markets.

Tesla’s recent price increase for its Model S, Model X, and Model Y vehicles in the U.S. indicates the company’s desire to gradually raise prices while remaining competitive in the EV market. Despite the price adjustments, the vehicles still offer a significant price advantage compared to their starting prices at the beginning of the year. Tesla’s expansion into markets like Japan further demonstrates its global ambitions as it continues to innovate and establish a strong presence in the electric vehicle industry.
