A day after the Internal Revenue Service released the list of vehicles eligible for the electric vehicle tax credit, $TSLA.US$ announced another price cut across its Model Y variants and the rear-wheel drive version of its Model 3 vehicle in the U.S.
What Happened: Updated pricing available on Tesla's website showed reductions ranging from 6% to 9.1% for its Model Y line-ups.
Here is a compilation of price changes:
Model 3
This variant is eligible for only half of the $7,500 tax credit. Excluding the tax credit, this trim costs $36,240. The Model 3 Performance variant's pricing was left unchanged at $52,990.
Model Y
Model Y dual motor, all-wheel drive: $46,990 (down 6% from $49,990)
Model Y long range: $49,990 (down 9.1% from $54,990)
Model Y Performance: $53,990 (down 8.5% from $58,990)
The previous cuts of a smaller magnitude of around 3.5% were announced on April 7. It was at that time, the company listed a new cheaper, sub-$50,000 variant to be made available in the U.S.
All three Model Y vehicles qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit under the new IRS guidelines.
Why It's Important: The latest price cuts apparently were not related to the EV tax credit since the action has not altered the subsidy available for the models.
Musk has been harping on the affordability of EVs as the economy navigates through uncertainties. Tesla has built up a sufficient scale and achieved production efficiency to be able to afford the price cuts.
These aggressive price moves could pose a threat to upstarts, such as $RIVN.US$, which are facing production issues.
As Tesla prepares to announce its financial results for the first quarter, which saw multiple rounds of price cuts, investors are jittery about the impact these actions have on margins and in turn profitability.
Tesla closed Tuesday's session at $184.31, down 1.46%.
在美国国税局发布有资格获得电动汽车税收抵免的车辆清单的第二天, $TSLA.US$ 宣布在美国对其Model Y变体和Model 3汽车的后轮驱动版本再次降价
发生了什么: 特斯拉网站上公布的最新定价显示,其Model Y系列的降幅从6%到9.1%不等。
以下是价格变动的汇编:
型号 3
该变体仅有资格获得7,500美元税收抵免的一半。不包括税收抵免,此次削减费用为36,240美元。Model 3 Performance 变体的定价保持不变,为52,990美元。
Y 型号
Model Y 双电机,全轮驱动:46,990 美元(较49,990美元下降6%)
Model Y 长续航里程:49,990 美元(较54,990美元下跌9.1%)
Model Y 性能:53,990 美元(较58,990美元下降8.5%)
之前的削减幅度较小,约为3.5%,是在4月7日宣布的。正是在那个时候,该公司上市了一种新的更便宜、低于5万美元的变体,将在美国上市。
根据美国国税局的新指导方针,所有三辆Model Y汽车都有资格获得7,500美元的电动汽车税收抵免。
为什么它很重要: 最新的降价措施显然与电动汽车税收抵免无关,因为该行动并未改变为这些车型提供的补贴。
随着经济摆脱不确定性,马斯克一直在大谈电动汽车的可负担性。特斯拉已经建立了足够的规模并提高了生产效率,足以负担降价。
这些激进的价格走势可能对暴发户构成威胁,例如 $RIVN.US$,它们面临生产问题。
在特斯拉准备公布第一季度的财务业绩(该季度进行了多轮降价)之际,投资者对这些行动对利润率乃至盈利能力的影响感到不安。
特斯拉周二收于184.31美元,下跌1.46%。
