- Times reports that a lack of storage has led to discounts
- British customers can rent one Tesla for 40% less than last year
- In the United States, Tesla offers attractive packages to help stimulate sales
Tesla has reduced the monthly cost of rental of its vehicles in the United Kingdom to stimulate sales and erase excess inventories, reported the Times, with discounts that can reach 40% offered to car rental companies to help move actions-while the giant EV also offers new transactions in the United States to stimulate sales.
The UFTY UK discounts apply to model 3 and recently refreshing model vehicles, the Times saying that the first can be rented for £ 252 per month plus the tax, or about $ 410 / $ 630 in. Find a year and the same lease exactly could cost between £ 600 and £ 700 per month.
Although the Y model of £ 60,000 has not reduced its retail price, it was announced for around £ 400 (around $ 540 / $ 830 per month on certain sites of Tesla trust rental partners.
In the United States, the company has tried to shake its pricing strategy and position its aging vehicles of S models and the X model as a higher-end proposals by making a new standard of $ 10,000 “Luxe Package” throughout the range.
This sees the Model S from $ 94,990 and the X model costs $ 99,990, but the packaging includes high levels of autonomous driving via full self-clarification (supervised), premium connectivity and a four-year premium service that covers routine maintenance costs.
He also considers the return of free overeating, which has been suspended on several occasions in recent years but has no longer lasted the life of the vehicle.
Tesla loses control of the EV market
According to the most recent data in the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), Tesla sales in the United Kingdom fell 60% in the United Kingdom in July, pushing its overall market share only 0.7%.
Byd, on the other hand, represented 2.3% of all new registrations during the same period, the Chinese company piling up from the pressure on many other European markets.
Tesla makes it difficult to determine exactly how the S model and the X model are in the United States, with its quarterly delivery reports representing sales of model 3 and the Y model, with all the rest grouped in a category “other models” which includes cybertruck and its semi.
But it seems that overall sales are in difficulty, Electk believing that the company was down approximately 15% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2024.
With Byd increasing its foot in Europe, and an increasing number of Chinese rivals that appear every month, Tesla faces the most difficult competition to date.
This is not the ideal time to be a Tesla shareholder, but the big discounts are good news for anyone who plans to rent a Tesla.
