Tesla Hikes Model Y Prices In China Ahead Of Q1 Deliveries: Here're The Updated Pricing In EV Maker's Key Market
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) increased the prices of all Model Y variants in China by 5,000 yuan ($692) effective April 1. This move comes after aggressive price cuts in China since late 2022 did not boost volume growth and led to a price war, notably with BYD Co Ltd. (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF), which overtook Tesla as the world's biggest battery EV manufacturer in Q4 2023. Analysts suggest Tesla should explore strategies beyond price cuts. Tesla's stock closed down 2.25% at $175.79.
