Part 2/11:
In the United States, Tesla unveiled the new affordable Model Y at $39,000, a notable $5,000 reduction from the previous $44,500 for the next-up Model Y variant. Similarly, the Model 3 was discounted by $5,000 to $36,500. These reductions, while significant in percentage terms, didn’t seem to bridge the gap enough to satisfy consumer expectations—many felt the discounts didn't go far enough, especially considering the September tax credit of $7,500 for vehicles priced under $55,000.
