Und die von Elon Musk große angekündigte Überraschung lautet: Tesla macht sein wichtigstes Auto Model 3 deutlich günstiger, womit die Käuferschicht wohl deutlich größer werden könnte. Die letzten Tage war die Kritik immer lauter geworden, dass Tesla wohl kein Model 3 für 35.000 Dollar werde anbieten können.
Und zack, jetzt kostet es 35.000 Dollar. Wie das wohl funktioniert? In Deutschland wurden bislang Preise für 55.000 Euro genannt, und jetzt ab 35.000 Dollar auf der US-Webseite von Tesla. Auf Twitter zeigen sich schon wenige Minuten nach Veröffentlichung der neuen Preise auf der Webseite von Tesla die „Fans“ begeistert. Und noch was. Tesla verkauft jetzt Autos nur noch online!

Lesen Sie hier die aktuelle Originalmeldung von Tesla:
We are incredibly excited to announce that the standard Model 3, with 220 miles of range, a top speed of 130 mph and 0-60 mph acceleration of 5.6 seconds is now available at $35,000! Although lower in cost, it is built to achieve the same perfect 5-star safety rating as the longer-ranged version, which has the lowest probability of injury of any car ever tested by the U.S. Government.
In addition, we are introducing the Model 3 Standard Range Plus, which offers 240 miles of range, a top speed of 140 mph, 0-60 mph acceleration of just 5.3 seconds and most premium interior features at $37,000 before incentives. For 6% more money, you get 9% more range, more power, and an upgraded interior.
To achieve these prices while remaining financially sustainable, Tesla is shifting sales worldwide to online only. You can now buy a Tesla in North America via your phone in about 1 minute, and that capability will soon be extended worldwide. We are also making it much easier to try out and return a Tesla, so that a test drive prior to purchase isn’t needed. You can now return a car within 7 days or 1,000 miles for a full refund. Quite literally, you could buy a Tesla, drive several hundred miles for a weekend road trip with friends and then return it for free. With the highest consumer satisfaction score of any car on the road, we are confident you will want to keep your Model 3.
Shifting all sales online, combined with other ongoing cost efficiencies, will enable us to lower all vehicle prices by about 6% on average, allowing us to achieve the $35,000 Model 3 price point earlier than we expected. Over the next few months, we will be winding down many of our stores, with a small number of stores in high-traffic locations remaining as galleries, showcases and Tesla information centers. The important thing for customers in the United States to understand is that, with online sales, anyone in any state can quickly and easily buy a Tesla.
At the same time, we will be increasing our investment in the Tesla service system, with the goal of same-day, if not same-hour service, and with most service done by us coming to you, rather than you coming to us. Moreover, we guarantee service availability anywhere in any countries in which we operate.
