Have you gone electric? Elon Musk thinks you should. That’s why he’s slashed Tesla prices in the U.S. and Europe by as much as 20 percent in an effort to get more drivers into electric vehicles (EVs) and out of legacy gas powered alternatives.
The aggressive sales drive follows questions raised on Thursday about the safety risks posed by heavy EVs in any collision with lighter vehicles that pushed the head of the National Transportation Safety Board to issue a general warning to all U.S. road users, as Breitbart News reported.
Reuter’s reports the dramatic Tesla discounting, which prompted a 3.8 percent fall in the company’s shares in Frankfurt on Friday, accompanied Musk enthusing about the prospect of a recession delivering higher interest rates meaning it could lower vehicle pricing to sustain volume growth at the expense of profit.

No sale.
Oh I have a neighbor that just bought Y model that’s gonna be pissed. LOL!
Why anyone would want an EV is beyond me.
Ta save da earf..
If I was given one I’d be laying awake at night for fear of it spontaneously combusting in my garage.......then there’s the maintenance and eventual battery cost.
But fear not, the EV boies will be along directly to tell us how great they are....if they haven’t already.
Tesla now has competition. Plus the cult fanaticism for the Tesla brand is fading. Last but not least, inflation is making it harder for people to spend money on expensive toys.
And it might also have something to do with the new EV credits that the Biden Admin just passed.
Sets caps on the sale price of cars, in order to qualify for the credit.
That and slow sales in China, well, somethings gotta go.
So housewives can virtue signal.
Sorry, Elon. Even the brilliant can make mistakes. Bring back a car like they made in the 50s and 60s and you’ll clean up!
Maybe our favorite EV advocate will finally put his money where his mouth is and buy an EV.
From the article:
“I’m not very pleased with these huge price sways. Just reducing 10,000 euros like that – definitely makes you feel that you just paid far too much,” one user wrote on a ‘Tesla Drivers and Friends’ forum on Friday.”
10,000 Euro equals
10,787.80 United States Dollar
So now there going for the low low price of FIFTY THOUSAND.
FIRE SALE!
Yes, libs have discovered that Musk isn't as woke as they thought he was. LOL!
Nah, he’s too busy telling all of us knuckledraggers that we’re too stupid to understand how great they are.
Superiority complex you know. 😏
Let me test drive it for a year. Then I’ll decide.
They’re using Elon as an example never to cross the evil globalists establishment or else you’re screwed! Twitter did him in. Watch for Twitter to revert back to their old nasty selves for Musk to safe his empire. Money and power are stronger than any drug addiction! And Elon falls into this category.
I’m sure the taxpayers will subsidize the discount!
No, you (and I) will buy one because they banned everything else. I wish that was sarcasm. It’s what’s coming, and fast. The extremist activism has hit new levels.
This is getting out of control.
