These are Tesla Model Y prices, no longer amazing ...

There are many reasons for the price of the Model Y, but one thing is clear, to restore the market that the Model 3 did when it entered it will already be quite difficult when the price starts at NIS 332,000.

After the sensation made by Tesla Model 3 when it went on sale last February at a price of about NIS 180,000, the expectations for aggressive-attractive pricing of the Model Y were understandable.

But the signs in the field that began to appear with Tesla Model 3 price jumps over the past few months have already signaled that celebration will never return.

And this point is sharpened by the price of the Model Y, which was marketed starting today in Israel, ahead of expected deliveries in the third quarter.

The Model Y comes in a crossover body and offers higher usability than the Model 3 in the sedan configuration.

It is 475 cm long, 192 cm wide and 162 cm high. The wheelbase is 290 cm, it's a lot but not as big as competitors in a similar configuration like the Hyundai Ionic 5 or Kia EV6.

Although it is also marketed abroad in a 7-seater configuration, it comes to us with a seating arrangement for only five.

In terms of propulsion, it uses two versions - long range and performance, the first in favor of a range with excellent performance, the second with a little less range, but with an emphasis on performance.

The first will offer 533 km declared and acceleration to 100 km / h in 5 seconds, the second drops to 514 km and 3.7 seconds

As mentioned, the price of the Model Y starts at NIS 332,000 before additions and the price of the performance version is NIS 363,469.

There are several reasons for the current pricing, not the answer is not necessarily one of them, but also a combination of several.

Could it be Tesla's sobriety of the actual costs of being a car importer, rising global commodity prices and manufacturing difficulties, a desire to avoid the embarrassing saga of raising prices every so often and "hedging" the amount, or simply aligning a business-logical line with the basic law of supply and demand?
