cnn.com/2024/04/22/cars/tesla-price-war-china-germany-us-intl-hnk/
Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies
- Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.
- The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.
- The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.
- The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.
