According to advertisements on the company's Chinese website on Monday, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has dropped the beginning costs of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in China by as much as 9 percent.
The base price of the Model 3 car was dropped from 279,900 yuan to 265,900 yuan ($36,727.03), while the base price of the Model Y SUV was reduced from 316,900 yuan to 288,900 yuan.
According to Reuters, Tesla has been modifying prices in accordance with expenses. It was reported that capacity utilization at its Shanghai Gigafactory has increased, but the supply chain has remained consistent, leading in lower costs.
This is Tesla's first price cut in China in 2022; earlier in the year, the company raised prices on two models due to rising raw material costs. In September, Tesla began giving insurance benefits to consumers in an effort to encourage future purchases.
Reuters previously reported that Tesla has modernized its Shanghai factory to produce 22,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles each week.
