Tesla Model Y price increase in Germany and Norway
After implementing a temporary price cut for the Model Y in the United States, Tesla appears to be taking a contrasting approach in select European markets. This shift is particularly noticeable in Germany and Norway, where the cost of the widely popular all-electric crossover has recently increased.
As observed by the electric vehicle community, Tesla has increased the price of the Model Y in Germany. This adjustment impacts all three versions of the Model Y: from the entry-level Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) variant to the premium Model Y Performance.
Following the price increase, the Model Y Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) now begins at €44,990. The mid-tier Model Y Long Range Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD) starts at €52,490, while the Model Y Performance is now priced at €58,490.
The new pricing indicates a €2,000 increase for the Model Y RWD, a €2,500 rise for the Model Y AWD, and a €2,500 hike for the Model Y Performance. On the order page for Germany, all three Model Y variants now display an estimated delivery period of 2-3 weeks.
Germany isn’t the only European nation seeing a price increase for the Tesla Model Y. EV enthusiasts have reported that Tesla has also raised prices in Norway, with increases ranging from 20,000 to 25,000 NOK across the entire Model Y range.
According to Tesla Norway’s order page, the base Model Y RWD now begins at 409,990 NOK, while the Model Y AWD is priced at 499,990 NOK and the Model Y Performance at 529,990 NOK. This marks an increase from the previous prices, where the Model Y RWD was set at 389,990 NOK, the Model Y AWD at 474,990 NOK, and the Model Y Performance at 509,990 NOK.
Tesla is poised to ramp up its vehicle sales efforts in Europe in the coming weeks, especially following Giga Berlin’s production halt from January 29 to February 11. This temporary shutdown was due to supply chain disruptions caused by Houthi attacks on freighters in the Red Sea. Despite these setbacks, Giga Berlin’s plant manager, André Thierig, recently assured German media that the supply chain issues have been addressed and resolved.
