The standard configurations were removed from the five-door liftback S and X crossover lines: these models will now be available in more expensive models with more powerful batteries - Long Range and Performance. Thus, the prices for S and X will now start at $ 80 thousand and $ 85 thousand respectively.
The rejection of the standard versions of Model X and Model S means an increase in starting prices - up to $ 84,990 for the Model X and $ 79,990 for the Model S without taking into account potential incentives for buyers.
According to the manufacturer, the rise in prices will be offset by savings on gasoline (estimated at $ 9,875) and other preferences from owning and operating an electric car.
“To make the purchase of our machines even easier, we standardized the range of equipment and packages for the S, X and 3 models,” Tesla said in a statement. “We also revised our pricing policy to increase availability of our machines for consumers.”
Tesla also lowered the starting price for Model 3 by $ 1 thousand to $ 39 thousand. The company reduced the cost of Model 3 in China from 421 thousand yuan to 355,900 yuan ($ 51,780). As soon as the assembly factory of the company starts working in China, the price of the Model 3 will be reduced to 328,000 yuan. In China, Model X and Model S also became more expensive: 790 thousand and 776 thousand yuan, respectively.
Recall that Tesla completed the third and fourth quarters of 2018 with a profit, but in the first quarter of 2019, the manufacturer again suffered a loss and was forced to attract additional funding in the amount of more than $ 2 billion.
In Q2, the company was able to surpass its previous production and supply rates, which significantly surpassed analysts' estimates. Tesla also expects a strong third quarter.
