At that time, Tesla China's official website showed that the prices of model 3 and model y rose again. The starting price of model 3 increased by 10000 yuan to 265600 yuan, and the starting price of model y increased by 21000 yuan to 301800 yuan. At that time, the expected delivery time of models was 12-16 weeks < p > the price of domestic model 3 has been adjusted six times since 2021.

The public information shows that the lithium iron phosphate battery is used in Tesla's standard endurance model without nickel or cobalt. Morgan Stanley auto analysts said earlier that "the price of nickel has increased by 67.2% in one day, which means that the average input cost of manufacturing each tram has increased by about $1000." < p > Morgan Stanley: soaring nickel prices may increase the cost of electric vehicles by $1000 < / P > < p > according to the financial Associated Press, with the continuous impact of the Russian Ukrainian conflict on the global commodity market and the crazy rise of international nickel prices, global investors have to start to examine the "new reality". On Tuesday, the London Metal Exchange (LME) took an unusual measure to suspend nickel trading at a time when nickel prices rose above $100000 < p > nickel is a key component of lithium-ion batteries, but the sudden surge in nickel prices has raised sharp questions among analysts and investors about carmakers' ambitious electric vehicle plans < p > Adam Jonas, an automotive analyst at Morgan Stanley, said earlier that "the price of nickel has increased by 67.2% in one day, which means that the average input cost of manufacturing each tram has increased by about $1000." < p > "investors should lower their expectations for carmakers' profits because the sudden surge in nickel prices could undermine the tram manufacturing plans of global carmakers, including general motors and Ford." He added < p > it is understood that lithium ion batteries have three layers in total. Among them, the lithium cathode is made of a mixture of lithium, nickel and other minerals such as cobalt, manganese or aluminum. The anode is made of carbon, graphite and silicon, with a spacer layer made of porous polymer < p > in recent years, automobile manufacturers have found that adding more nickel to the cathode can improve the energy density of the battery, that is, it can increase the mileage per pound of battery < p > the nickel content of the cathode used in the old lithium-ion battery is about one third. However, in recent years, automobile manufacturers have increased the proportion of nickel in the cathode to improve the energy density of the battery and increase the mileage of the car. Most cathodes now contain at least 60% nickel < p > some companies even use more, on the one hand to reduce or eliminate expensive cobalt, on the other hand to increase energy density in high-end applications. For example, the batteries supplied by South Korean battery giant LG Chem to Tesla contain 90% nickel < p > lithium iron phosphate batteries are used in Tesla's standard endurance models without nickel or cobalt < / P > < p > according to the financial Associated Press, assuming that the price rise of nickel continues, it is obvious that the cost of electric vehicles will rise, especially for high-end electric vehicles. But not all electric vehicles will be affected. Another common battery, lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP), has been used in low-cost electric vehicles. The battery uses iron phosphate and does not need nickel or cobalt < p > LFP batteries cost less than lithium-ion batteries, but they also have lower energy density, which means that LFP batteries are heavier than lithium-ion batteries per mile. This gap makes LFP batteries not ideal for high-end vehicles, because the increased weight will limit performance and hinder vehicle handling < p > but this is not a problem for mass market models pursuing cost performance. Under pressure from the government to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, many carmakers have been using LFP batteries in their lower cost electric vehicles for many years < p > last fall, Tesla announced the use of lithium iron phosphate batteries in its standard endurance models, which can improve the profit margin of these entry-level models without raising prices. Analysts believe that with the soaring price of nickel, more and more major global carmakers will begin to follow Tesla's example < p > coincidentally, Tesla's price increase only involves the high-performance version of model 3 and the long-range and high-performance version of model y, not the standard version < p > source: daily economic news, comprehensive Tesla official website, financial Associated Press, public information, etc. < / P > < p >
