AFTER 4 US PRICE CUTS, TESLA RAISES COST FOR OLDER MODELS

SECTIONS
After 4 US price cuts, Tesla raises cost for older models
APLast Updated: Apr 21, 2023, 08:21 PM IST
Synopsis


THE LOWEST-PRICE MODEL S NOW STARTS AT USD 87,490, WHILE THE BASE PRICE FOR THE
X IS USD 97,490, ACCORDING TO TESLA'S WEBSITE EARLY FRIDAY. NEITHER IS ELIGIBLE
FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S USD 7,500 ELECTRIC VEHICLE TAX CREDIT BECAUSE THEY
EXCEED STICKER PRICE LIMITS.

After cutting US vehicle prices four times this year, Tesla raised the cost
overnight on its slow-selling more expensive models. The hike could be an effort
to appease investors, who dumped shares of Tesla on Thursday after earnings and
profit margins dropped due to previous price cuts.

The Austin, Texas, company added USD 2,500 to all four versions of the Models S
and X, increasing their prices from 2.4 per cent to 2.9 per cent.

The lowest-price Model S now starts at USD 87,490, while the base price for the
X is USD 97,490, according to Tesla's website early Friday. Neither is eligible
for the U.S. government's USD 7,500 electric vehicle tax credit because they
exceed sticker price limits.



Prices of the company's top-selling Model Y small SUV and Model 3 small sedan
remained the same after being lowered earlier this week.

Tesla shares closed Thursday down nearly 10 per cent after CEO Elon Musk said it
would sacrifice profit margins in order to boost sales. On Wednesday Tesla
reported first-quarter net income that fell 24 per cent from a year ago, and
operating profit margins that dropped from 19.2 per cent in the first quarter of
last year to 11.4 per cent last quarter.

In trading early Friday the stock was flat.



The price increases come at a strange time for Tesla because global sales of the
aging Model X large SUV and Model S big sedan fell nearly 38 per cent in the
first quarter to 10,695.

Shares in all electric vehicle makers have been under significant pressure this
week. Tesla shares are down 12.4 per cent for the week, while startups Rivian,
Lucid and Lordstown Motors all lost about 10 per cent of their value. Fisker
dropped 14 per cent for the week, and Nio fell 12 per cent, while Nikola dropped
almost 8 per cent.
