Tesla has elevated the starting price of its Model Y crossovers by .8% to 261,900 yuan ($38,577.11) in China, after the firm’s aggressive price cuts at the starting of the calendar year ignited demand.
Tesla raised the price for the rear-wheel travel model of Model Y by 2,000 yuan from 259,900 yuan beforehand, according to the price information shown on the company’s Chinese web-site on Friday.
The U.S. automaker prepared to step up output at its Shanghai plant in excess of the upcoming two months to meet up with demand from customers stoked by aggressive price cuts on its ideal-selling models, Reuters documented earlier.
Its current market share in China’s battery electric auto sector rose to 12.5% in January from 9% in December, according to a Reuters calculation based on market knowledge.
Tesla kept the prices for other variations of Model Y and the Model 3 autos unchanged.
