EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has hiked the price of its new Model 3 Performance in the U.S. by $1000, merely days after its launch.
What Happened: The Model 3 Performance is now priced at $53,990 on Tesla's website. The company launched the new variant only on Tuesday, ahead of its first-quarter results.
The Model 3 Performance, unlike the other two versions of Model 3, is eligible for a $7,500 federal EV tax credit, taking the effective price for eligible buyers down to $46,490, below even the Long Range version of the vehicle.
The Performance version has a range of 296 miles and a top speed of 163 mph. On ordering the vehicle now, customers can take delivery by June.
Why It Matters: In January, Tesla introduced the updated Model 3 in the U.S., initially offering two variants: rear-wheel drive and long-range. The Performance variant was conspicuously absent from the listings. However, a company executive affirmed its forthcoming availability.
Tesla slashed prices on all trim levels of the Model Y, S, and X in the U.S. by $2,000 earlier this month. It spared the refreshed Model 3 then.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed down 1.11% at $168.28 per share on Friday, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The stock is down 32.26% year-to-date.

电动汽车巨头特斯拉公司(纳斯达克股票代码:TSLA)在新款Model 3 Performance推出仅几天后就将其在美国的价格上调了1000美元。
发生了什么:Model 3 Performance现在在特斯拉的网站上定价为53,990美元。该公司仅在周二发布第一季度业绩之前推出了新变体。
与Model 3的其他两个版本不同,Model 3 Performance有资格获得7,500美元的联邦电动汽车税收抵免,使符合条件的买家的有效价格降至46,490美元,甚至低于该车的长续航版本。
高性能版的续航里程为 296 英里,最高时速为 163 英里/小时。现在订购车辆后,客户可以在6月之前交货。
为何重要:1月,特斯拉在美国推出了更新后的Model 3,最初提供两种变体:后轮驱动和长续航里程。清单中明显缺少性能变体。但是,一位公司高管确认了其即将上市。
本月早些时候,特斯拉将美国Model Y、S和X的所有内饰级别的价格下调了2,000美元。当时它使更新后的Model 3幸免于难。
价格走势:根据Benzinga Pro的数据,特斯拉股价周五收盘下跌1.11%,至每股168.28美元。该股今年迄今已下跌32.26%。
