M3LR price increase

[MrT3]

Tesla has increased the price of the LR overnight from £ 48,490 to £ 49,990. There doesn’t appear to be any spec change but I wonder if the range will increase in the next few days as the base model did when its price increased.

 

[MrT3]

Ouch, just noticed the base model has had a £ 1k increase too.

Glad I ordered when I did, otherwise with the limits I have on my company car scheme I might not have been able to get an LR

 

[Mr H]

Has the standard car gone up again?? £42.990 now

Yes, looks like it. And without MSM colour becoming “free” at the moment.

 

[GeorgeSymonds]

Maybe they're finally going to ship us the bigger 82kwh battery in the LR

If I make full payment to Tesla (cash buyer) 50k example, and at the last minute unable to take delivery and need to postpone due to personal circumstances, does Tesla hold the money in their account until ready to collect, or do they refund it?

 

[Mr H]

I guess used cars will now increase too

Funny enough I just spotted this:

Estimated range now 375, it's creeping up! Wonder if Tesla will cross that magic 400 threshold (without compromising performance).

I have been holding out for a March delivery, coincide with bonus month. Looks like my waiting has just cost me £1k TEEEESSSSLLLLLAAAAAAAAA! You're wounding me!

He who hesitates... might have money in the bank at almost 0% interest vs victimhood due to chip shortage caused by You Know Who (and that is not a reference to WHO however they might be implicated)

These new range figures happened last week. All extremely dubious though - the 360 mile figure was unobtainable with 18" aero wheels.

For mainland Europe the figure with the larger battery is 638 km so just short of 400 miles (394 miles).

Thank you, yes I think in my heart of hearts if Tesla followed the £1500 price increase with a 394 range it would sweeten the initial bitter reflex when I first opened configurator and saw the new price. My hope is that they follow up soon so I can pre-order contented. I know what I'm like, if I pre-order I'll be smashing the refresh button hoping to see that new battery and range update pretty much every couple of hours

Fingers crossed, I have faith.

Interesting, I didn’t notice that when I ordered mine. Assuming there are no changes to the LR then it means I’ll get 375 miles on my aeros (early Dec collection). Or rather, 375 miles less “real conditions deduction”!

On the Plus side the Y now looks relatively more affordable.
Someone was complaining last week on here that the differences between the Y and 3 did not justify the £6500 difference.
Well now its only £5000.

I was expecting to see an increase on the Y - I think it is quite likely before the end of the year.

 

[AnthonyLR]

It seems Tesla is "suffering" from excess demand and price rises are one way to stop waiting lists becoming ludicrous. Hopefully when Berlin comes online and Shanghai ramps up supply may catch up.

Interesting to see that range increasing even before the 4680 cells in a structural battery pack. Fingers crossed for 400+ miles then (and super fast supercharging!)

 

[UrbanSplash]

£1000 more, for 2 USB ports less. Great deal.

That would be me. Its more like 8k (i was generous) by the time one buys the boost as to bring things closer together.

Either way, Ive put in my model Y reservation so that makes me entitled to have a moan as such

On the upside, with the Y price locked in, Ive also got two M3's here also going up in value so its swings and roundabouts and nicer problems to have

But still cheaper now, after taking into account the loss of the £3,000 government grant! Or put it another way Tesla gets less money for each car now than it did 6 months ago...

Model 3 short range is £45,090. LR is £52,090. Very misleading headline figure on website
