Tesla has raised the prices for the Model 3 in Germany. From now on, the rear-wheel drive model will cost 42,490 euros, an increase of 1,500 euros. The prices for the Long Range and Performance versions have also been adjusted: The Long Range variant now costs 51,490 euros, while the Performance version is available for 58,490 euros. These prices do not include potential promotions or environmental bonuses.
The price adjustment had been announced in advance and has now been implemented. Tesla The reason for this step is the punitive tariffs imposed on vehicles manufactured in China and imported into Germany. The Model 3 is produced in China, in contrast to other Tesla-models such as the Model S and Model X, which come from the USA, and the Model Y, which is manufactured in Germany.
The price increase comes at a time when demand for electric cars, including Teslas, is declining. It remains to be seen whether the new prices will be permanent or whether there will be discounts and promotions during the quarter. Especially at the end of the quarter Tesla often offers special promotions, so it might be worthwhile for interested parties to wait a little.
