Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) has temporarily reduced the prices of its Model Y variants in the U.S. by $1,000 until Feb. 29, with the performance variant's price remaining unchanged. The price cut, aimed at boosting sales, comes after a period of price reductions in early 2023 that did not significantly improve sales and affected margins. Tesla also made leasing more attractive by reducing the down payment. Despite speculation, Tesla confirmed there will be no Model Y refresh in North America this year.
