- Tesla has cut prices on its Model 3, Model X, and Model S electric vehicles.
- The Model 3’s price is down by $2000, bringing it to less than $40K, and the Model X and S both see price cuts of $5000.
- Tesla outperformed competitors in the first quarter of 2020, but the outlook for electric-vehicle sales in general through the rest of the year isn’t good.
It wasn’t too long ago that Tesla still enjoyed federal tax incentives and a healthy economy to keep sales growing, but now that both of those factors are gone, the automaker is turning to price reductions to keep interest in their electric vehicles from dipping. Across its vehicle lineup, prices have been cut, including on the Model 3, Model X, and Model S.

Tesla was one of the few automakers to see sales increases in the first quarter of this year, as well as a profit, while the coronavirus pandemic shrunk demand across the world. Nonetheless, earlier this month, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) projected that electric vehicle sales would fall 18 percent globally in 2020.
