Tesla Slashes Prices on Model 3 and Model Y Vehicles Amid Heightened EV Competition
-
Tesla has lowered prices for Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, bringing MSRPs to new all-time lows amid increased EV competition.
-
All Model 3 variants received discounts, along with the Long Range and Performance versions of the Model Y. This continues Tesla's price war in early 2022.
-
Price cuts may reflect a stabilizing EV market with slowing adoption rates and attractive new models from other automakers like Hyundai, Kia, and Volvo.
-
Lower production costs, especially for batteries, have enabled Tesla's reduced pricing. The imminent US arrival of the refreshed Model 3 may also play a role.
-
Price cuts likely respond to an evolving EV market where premium electric cars are becoming less differentiated and seeing lower demand.
