Tesla cuts Model 3 and Model Y prices in the U.S. after car deliveries fall
cnbc.com
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.

Knowing he can swoop into Tesla and start making decisions that over rule the experts that work there like he did at twitter should scare people who can't afford to just buy another EV if it happens to Tesla.
"If" it happens to Tesla? Pretty sure the over promising if FSD and the poor build quality have always been Tesla things driven by Musk. Once competition gears up I really hope Tesla improves. It's actually a fun car to drive just make sure you get one that was built properly and don't bother with FSD.
Look at twitter though, I'm not convinced Tesla cant get much much worse and I think its directly related to how much time Musk spends doing his job there.
The difference is Twitter is a private company, and Tesla is public. Meaning he is free to run Twitter into the ground because at the end of the day, it's his to do as he pleases. But with Tesla, he has to ultimately answer to the share holders, if he starts running amok of the company, they can vote to give him the boot and he can't really do anything about it.
