I think it's because of - 10% tax/duty on imported cars from the USA to the EU (1) - shipping costs from USA to EU - price are with VAT included in EU (all consumer products), so around 20% When the cars are made in Berlin (mid/late 2021 if Tesla is to be believed) price will probably go down by a significant amount for EU buyers. And there will be more non Tesla BEV models in the next few years, another factor for Tesla to lower prices. Peugeot e-208 seems to have a nice success, and Volkswagen will soon have lots of BEV models.
