The update did the trick. For the first time in four years, Tesla Model S and Model X sales begin to grow

In the structure of Tesla’s sales, the Model 3 is the undisputed leader: it is on it that accounts for the maximum demand. The Model Y, built on the same platform, is also gaining momentum, but sales of the flagship Model S and Model X have fallen four years in a row since the release of the Model S P100D Ludicrous. But the recent updates to the Model S and Model X have done their job: for the first time in several years, sales of these models have gone up!

Official sales figures for the new Model S and Model X will only appear in two months, but sources inside the company are already saying that Tesla is seeing a surge in interest in flagships. And we are talking about “significant growth in sales.”

True, as the source writes, not all potential buyers are satisfied with the price increase of $ 10,000 – this is how much the updated Model S and Model X have risen in price. More precisely, the current Tesla price list, most likely, does not bother new buyers – we are talking about those who placed an order late last year when the price started at $ 69,420. After that, the company stopped the conveyor in Fremont for re-equipment and launched the updated flagships into production. And then Tesla asked people who had previously placed orders to pay an additional $ 10,000 for the new Model S and Model X, up to the retail price for these models on the official website. In general, if Tesla had informed about the rise in price in time, then the negative would clearly have been less. But, according to Elon Musk, the new Model S and Model X are “probably the best cars available in the world today at any price.” So thank you for the only $ 10,000 increase.
