Tesla starts to push sales at the end of Q2?
According to Electrek, since last week, Tesla has authorized employees to provide one year of free supercharging service for customers who purchase a Model 3 inventory vehicle, provided that the car is delivered by the end of this month.
From the news exposed by the Model 3 owners’ group on Garage No. 42, some future owners of domestic-made long-range Model 3 have received sales calls from Tesla as early as mid-May, and the sales representative even promised to “get it done for you in June” if they wish to pick up the car.
Considering the recent FSD price increase announcement made by Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk, it is evident that Tesla is trying to push the final sales of Q2, hence this combination of offers.
Does this mean that Tesla’s Q2 financial report may not be good-looking?
Based on sales figures, Tesla’s global sales were 14793 units in April, down 28.9% YoY.
Although Tesla achieved a monthly sales figure of 11095 units of Model 3 in China in May, the situation in the United States is still not optimistic due to the impact of the epidemic.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Tesla to push sales at the end of Q2. However, is it possible for Chinese customers to also get one year of free supercharging?
