Tesla cut the price of some Model 3 and Model Y versions in the U.S. after the company reported third-quarter deliveries that missed market expectations.

The starting price for the Model 3 is listed at $38,990 on Tesla’s website, down from $40,240 previously. The long range Model 3 fell from $47,240 to $45,990. And the Model 3 Performance fell to $50,990 from $53,240.

Tesla’s Model Y Performance sports utility vehicle now starts at $52,490, down from a previous price of $54,490.

Beginning at the end of last year, Tesla began cutting the prices of its cars across the world in a bid to stoke demand amid concerns over slowing consumer spending in markets like the U.S. and China and as competition in the electric vehicle space ramped up.

    Who in their right mind, after seeing Elon Musk destroy Twitter at the behest of the Saudis, all while supporting antidemocratic Fascists from every corner of the globe, buy one of his Fascistmobiles and fly his Fascist flag?

      I love Teslas and hate Elon. Have family members who feel the same and own Teslas. The cars are amazing, fun, cool, and made by people who aren’t Elon. He will never make me hate Tesla. Also, friendly reminder that Ford is heavily responsible for EVs not existing decades sooner, Toyota donated more than any company to Jan6 Republicans, and the average car CEO is a piece of shit. Elon is just an outspoken piece of shit.

        A lot of folks work in those factories that have no idea about Elon, other than that he’s rich. So many folks don’t bother to stay informed.

          I really doubt this for factories in the US. Whether you follow celebrity news or not, Musk’s name is all over the place for one reason or another. US workers absolutely know what’s going on.

            As one of those workers, you’d be astonished at the misinformation I hear coming out of my coworkers mouths. Now mind you, I don’t work for Tesla, but I’m absolutely more informed than the vast majority of my coworkers.

          More thinking all those vps, managers, hr, engineers, customer service, sales, marketing etc. they obviously are well informed and choose to stay.
