Price decline in Tesla-Models
Not only the Model X, but also the Model S has experienced a significant drop in prices since the facelift. The basic version of the Model S, which cost 112,990 euros at the beginning of the year, is now offered for 92,990 euros - a price reduction of 20,000 euros or 18 percent. Here too it can be seen that Tesla apparently reacts to the stagnating paragraph and the increasing competition.
Technical data and competition
The Tesla In its dual motor version, Model X offers an impressive system output of 670 hp (493 kW) and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The Plaid version, with three engines and 1,020 hp (750 kW), reaches this brand in just 2.6 seconds. Both variants use a battery with a capacity of around 100 kWh, which enables the vehicle a range of up to 625 km to WLTP standard.

In comparison, competitors such as the Audi Q8 E-Tron and the BMW IX sold much better. In Germany alone, Audi was able to stop almost 10,000 units of the Q8 Etron, while BMW sold around 5,100 IX. The Mercedes EQS SUV, another competitive model, is also better rated in the sales statistics than the model X.
Possible reasons for the weak sales
Model X is technically competitive, but the age of the model and the lack of further development could have influenced the sales figures. The facelift version was announced in January 2021 without receiving essential technical updates since then. In addition, the logos of German premium manufacturers such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes still have a higher prestige in Germany, which is the paragraph of Tesla-Teiten could affect.
Conclusion
Despite the price cuts and the still impressive technical data, this seems Tesla To attract Model X to attractiveness on the German market. While the model can still keep up with technically, sales are left behind the expectations. The severe drop in prices could indicate that Tesla Try to boost demand, but the competition from established German brands remains a major challenge.
