Price Increases
- Thread starter JDOC

Not sure. Quicksilver is available in China already but not Cherry Red. Either they are now going to start supplying UK from Germany or the China paint shop has been upgraded. We will need to wait for VINs to confirm country of manufacture.

The good thing about Tesla price increases and decreases (or at least historically was [when long lead times] so needs confirming that it’s still current policy) is that Tesla honour the lower total order price for price increases and apply new pricing for price decreases - unless you change the order - in which case they treat it as a new order at new book price ie you will potentially get locked in at a higher price.
Important to remember that this is lower total order price that is honoured not individual pricing, ie car, colour, wheels, EAP/FSD etc.
Also, if you change spec, say paint colour, or add EAP at time of order, then whole order pricing is calculated at then current book price so any lower price when you might have originally ordered will be lost.
tl;dr if you ordered car at lower price and fancy one of the new colours, it might cost more than just the difference in paint if prices have risen since first ordering.

Thats what I was expecting! Haven't ordered any, I just go in every so often to check the pricing, as I am in the market, but timing I can be very flexible
Model Y inventory is really high, but if you follow some of the trackers there’s also a lot of Berlin made cars in inventory and China made is relatively low, so it’s possible Berlin will start making for us to help balance demand across the factories. A second reason would be Panama and shipping issues, production relatively locally has multiple advantages.
Given that sales of Teslas in the UK are more than 33% down on 12 months ago and market share is significantly down they are going to have to do something to incentivise the market.
They could start with 0% APR as they are about the only BEV OEM that isn’t at 0% other than the high end luxury brands who they aren’t competing with.
As I understand it, Tesla are going to make RHD for the India market ex Berlin, so potentially that means UK and Ireland are possible to be ex Berlin as well.
