Should we wait for a further drop in prices before buying?

Discounts, free charging: Tesla is being generous at the moment. The last time this was the case, there was a subsequent drop in Model 3 and Model Y prices.

It’s Tesla Bargain Week! At the moment, there are Model 3 and Model Y in French stock with great discounts. Thanks to these discounts, and with the bonus of €5,000, there are Propulsion versions well below €40,000. And that’s not all: if delivery takes place before March 31, the manufacturer offers 5,000 km of recharging credits on its Superchargers!

Obviously, the brand wants to destock. What becomes a habit at the end of a trimester. We are at the end of March, the manufacturer will thus accelerate deliveries and improve its results. There had been the same generosity at Christmas. During the last two weeks of December, the manufacturer had offered 10,000 km of recharge.

However, customers who had taken advantage of this generosity by taking delivery of their vehicle before New Year’s Eve were quickly disillusioned. Because on January 13, Tesla melted the price of its Model 3 and Model Y. Some of our readers had felt the blow coming: the generosity of Christmas was there to sell off stocks with the old prices before setting up the new ones. .

What will change in 2023 for motorists: bonuses, penalties, ZFE, charging stations, etc.

Will history repeat itself? New end of term, again promotions and kilometers offered. This puts the flea in the ear and gives hope for a further drop in catalog prices in April. We saw it at Christmas, there was no smoke without fire.

Should we wait to order? As much to say it, it is complicated to decide and not to make an answer from Normand. Tesla will indeed not confirm in advance an upcoming price drop!

Our view is that if this happens, the fall will not be as large as January’s. At that time, the Model 3 Propulsion had gone from 53,490 to 44,990 €!

Any further decline would therefore be more limited. What therefore hesitate to take a model in stock, which already benefits from a discount of almost 3,000 € and 5,000 km of recharge therefore, which is interesting. It’s up to you to make the choice, even if there is a part of the lottery, which there has always been with Tesla! Besides, prices could rise again after all!
