Price rises

[nrushforth]

Thanking my lucky stars I reserved my M3 LR, that I took delivery of mid Feb at a price £3.5K less than todays price...now thinking of upgrading to a Model Y, if the trade-in values increase significantly. Negotiations with my wife will need to start again as a 3rd change in 1 year might not go down that well.

Well the delivery date is still May so the cars will already be in the pipeline, I expect once they are sold out the prices may increase for the next batches.

He/She meant the Model 3 and not the Y.

I’m delaying my Y for a few reasons , but one is to see does value of my trade in M3 increase

 

[Dommmm]

Don’t panic !!!

But…

Anyone think you’ll see a price rise with the massive rise in commodity prices and strong demand for Tesla and other EVs with these huge oil prices etc .

Glad I read that last night, I was deciding which one to go for next and decided to go for the rwd again so decided to buy it last night. Good timing with the increase! Definitely happy with that decision

 

[BelfastEV]

Prices went up AGAIN in the USA yesterday morning …….

 

[Freds Dad]

Good timing indeed ! So long range Y only £3k more than LR 3….

Now the same price.

Is there a table we can use to track and compare each increase?

 

[Mrklaw]

went up again in UK too? Twice in a week??

RWD showing £45990 - £2k more than last week and £3k more than two weeks ago
LR showing £54990 - £3k more than last week and £5k more than two weeks ago!

if they're tryign to demand manage thats a pretty blunt instrument. Or they realise they can make more profit and its still affordable for salary sacrifice/business and company car users and retail customers can just suck it up?

Genuinely wonder if I can sell my 4 week old 3LR back for a Y for almost no cost.

Crazy folks can have a YLR for the same as a 3LR. Tesla are really pushing the Y

Personally the Y felt overpriced before - same battery, similar/smaller range, a 3 on stilts so I don't know how they justified the price difference before. Ironicially it almost looks good value

 

[UrbanSplash]

The Y was definitely over priced compared to the old 3 prices. They will have to differentiate price between 3LR and YLR. Can’t stay the same.

YP has always been priced outrageously in the UK. Gap between 3LR and 3P now makes sense.

The MY just seems to be a M3 with a higher shell, they cant even put extra seats in!

Higher shell, but you can get a 7 seater in other places and I've heard it will come to EU eventually. Those extra 2 seats at the back are for ants though.

Still its something (7 seats than 5) which differentiates a MY from a M3, right now the offering is not looking appeasing.
Can just fold it, hope a retro fit comes soon, but that will likely cost so went with M3

Aren't the biggest differentiators that the MY is a larger car in general & is a hatchback with a very different load capacity and access? It provides an option to those who want/need the SUV style of car rather than the saloon of the M3. For many people, the limited access to the boot of the M3 will just make it an impractical car.
