Tesla has implemented another wave of price cuts across its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, bringing the starting price of its vehicles under $40,000 (Electrek). This is the second time that Tesla has cut prices this month, with the most popular models now more affordable for consumers (TechCrunch). The price reductions have had an impact on sales in the European market, with the midsize Tesla Model Y selling more than double the amount in February and March compared to the same period last year (Automotive News Europe).
Tesla is trying to demonstrate its financial strength to investors ahead of its latest earnings report, which analysts are predicting to deliver a strong performance (Bloomberg.com).

When it comes to purchasing a Tesla Model Y or Model X, consumers must decide whether to splurge for the flagship Model X or to purchase the less expensive Model Y (InsideEVs). While the Tesla Model Y is now more affordable than ever, it remains to be seen how competitive Tesla will remain in the market as legacy automakers continue to position themselves for more profits (Green Car Reports).
