Tesla has launched the Model Y SR, the affordable version of the Model Y family, for sale in Turkey. The car, which was available for pre-order at prices of 1 million 866 thousand and 1 million 909 thousand TL, sold out within minutes in its two different versions.
Electric car giant Tesla, owned by Elon Musk, made a remarkable price reduction in Turkey with its ÖTV adjustment. The company has offered a limited number of sales for two different versions of the Model Y at 1 million 866 thousand TL and 1 million 909 thousand TL. These models, which fall into the low tax bracket, sold out quickly.
ERROR WHEN STOCK RAN OUT
After the stocks quickly ran out, many users on social media reported that they encountered a 'postal code error' during the ordering process and were unable to complete their transactions.
TESLA EXECUTIVE FORCED TO MAKE A STATEMENT
Berk Tezveren, Tesla Turkey Sales Manager, stated in a post on X, "Berlin prioritized Turkey in the production of the new Model Y SR, and today a large number of vehicles have been added to the inventory! There will be no new bulk listing this week except for cancellations. However, a new bulk inventory will be published next week," he said.
TESLA TURNED ÖTV RATE INTO AN ADVANTAGE
By turning the ÖTV rates, which vary according to engine power and tax-free price, into an advantage, Tesla reduced the engine power of the Model Y to below 160 kW, including the vehicle in the 10% tax bracket. Additionally, with an update to the battery, the range reached 455 kilometers (WLTP). The vehicle, with its rear-wheel-drive design, can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, and its maximum speed is reported to be 217 km/h.
