Electric vehicle company Tesla only began marketing its cars in Israel to customers last month and has not yet delivered its first cars but it has already hiked prices on all the models it is selling here on its online sales site. The basic price on the Tesla 3 after taxes has risen by NIS 6,000 to NIS 9,000 before extras from the original price of NIS 179,000. The basic price of the Tesla S has risen by NIS 25,000 from the original price of NIS 420,000. According to sales contract law in Israel, as most buyers have only put down a NIS 500 deposit, Tesla is not required by law to charge the original price but can update it according to foreign currency fluctuations, changes in taxation etc. RELATED ARTICLES Tesla to deliver first cars to Israeli customers this month Tesla set to disrupt Israel's car market Tesla chooses Phoenix for telemetric insurance in Israel Tesla launches Israel sales, reveals prices Tesla is due to deliver its first consignment of electric cars to Israeli buyers before the end of this month.
