all the news about mobility
More than 180.000 cars were delivered in the last quarter, breaking the record of the third quarter (139.000). The cheaper variants, the Tesla 3 and Tesla Y are especially popular. Musk responds enthusiastically to the sales figures on Twitter. Tesla is again benefiting from the sale of emission rights to other car manufacturers, who produce cars that emit more exhaust fumes. The manufacturers can still meet the environmental requirements and it provides Tesla with additional sales and profit.
In the following quarters, however, sales recovered, and an unprecedented number of electric cars were sold again in the last quarter, mainly because the addition rules become stricter in 2021. In 2021, the addition will increase significantly. Depending on your income, it quickly saves a few hundred euros per month on a car worth 40.000 euros. Until January, lease drivers must pay an addition of 8 percent on the first 45.000 euros of the list price. After that, the addition increases to 12 percent over the first 40.000 euros.
What is addition?
The addition is an amount that lease drivers must add to their gross salary if they also use the car privately. For normal cars, you have to add 22 percent of the catalog value of the car to your wages every year, for fully electric cars a percentage of 8 percent applies. You then pay tax on the amount that you add to your wages, which are the final costs you incur for the use of your lease car.
