In a desperate attempt to stay competitive in the Chinese market, Elon Musk's Tesla has announced a price cut of 14,000 yuan ($1,900) for its two higher-end Model Y vehicles. The price reduction is seen as the latest move in an ongoing price war that has been affecting the electric vehicle (EV) industry in China. Tesla previously promised to uphold the 'core socialist values' of communist China in an attempt to cool down the price war with local competitors.
Comrade Elon: Musk’s Tesla Slashes Prices in China Despite Promising to Uphold ‘Core Socialist Values’In a desperate attempt to stay competitive in the Chinese market, Elon Musk’s Tesla has announced a price cut of 14,000 yuan for its two higher-end Model Y vehicles. The price reduction is seen as the latest move in an ongoing price war that has been affecting the electric vehicle industry in China.
The Model Y has been a key player in Tesla’s lineup, along with the Model 3, both of which have been best-sellers for the company. The price reduction is seen as a strategic move to maintain Tesla’s competitive edge in the Chinese market, where the company has faced stiff competition from local EV manufacturers.
The price war in China’s EV market was triggered by Tesla last year, forcing other manufacturers to follow suit and lower their prices as well. This aggressive pricing strategy has had a significant impact on the industry, with many companies struggling to maintain profitability., reaching the lowest level this year. Industry experts believe Musk hopes to boost sales and regain market share in the highly competitive Chinese market.
