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.

      I think you’re minimizing the damage he is causing with his platform. He is saying and, allowing to be said, the quiet parts out loud representing the worst parts of humanity and, because it’s his platform literally, no one can stop him.

        Can you point to some of the things he said that are particular egregious? And please don’t deflect onto another topic if possible

          Honestly, if you need examples enumerated you are likely part of the problem

            That’s a neat trick to get out of backing up your statement. You said he’s saying the quiet parts out loud, I’m a little baffled on what you are referring to.
