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.
The bolt ev/euv is cheaper and has all the features except an “autopilot”, which is a plus that your car won’t kill you
It’s also microsized compared to the Model 3 and most any other EV.
The EUV doesn’t really compare.
Currently no access to the Supercharger network, a much slower fast-charging curve, the ADAS features lag Autopilot, the center console is laggy, and for the nerds who care, Tesla’s API isn’t closed down like OnStar. It’s rear cargo ties and Carplay support are the only bonuses. The Bolt EUV is even losing features – this year’s model removed heated seats, putting further reliance on running a heater, which is a bad thing for range.
The car doesn’t kill you, people not paying attention while driving kills. NHTSA’s primary investigation is basically about drivers of Tesla vehicles not paying attention and determining if Tesla is being aggressive enough about focus detection.
And yes, I considered purchasing one or going to the Mustang Mach-E. The Mach-E is a much more viable contender. The Bolt EUV was very unimpressive and not really comparable.
Unfortunately they are being discontinued and the leftover inventory is hard to find in my experience.
They were being discontinued but I got told by someone the other day they got recontinued due to feedback on the cancellation
You are correct, Chevy’s messaging has been confusing. The current bolt is ending production this year and a new bolt platform is being developed, with most people expecting a release no sooner than 2025.
Ah great, super clear GM, good job. Thanks for the clarification
