Tesla cuts prices in China, Germany and other key markets amid sales slump
Tesla has announced significant price cuts for its electric vehicles (EVs) in key markets, including China and Germany, as it grapples with declining sales and heightened competition. This move follows price reductions in the United States and comes on the heels of the company reporting a drop in global vehicle deliveries for the first time in almost four years.
Price Adjustments to Boost Sales
The price cuts aim to stimulate demand and regain market share in the face of increasing competition, particularly from more affordable Chinese EV manufacturers. Tesla has been facing challenges in maintaining sales momentum, and these price reductions are seen as a strategic response to current market dynamics.
