Tesla slashes car prices in US, Europe, pressuring rivals
The basic variant of the Model Y compact SUV now costs €44,890 ($48,553), €9,100 less than before, Tesla announced on Friday. The entry-level price of the Model 3 dropped by €6,000 to €43,990. Tesla had already lowered prices in the US the day before.
Tesla dominated the electric vehicle market for several years, selling cars as fast as they could be built. But rivals have begun to catch up globally, with inflation and rising raw material costs also weighing.
