The starting price for the Model 3 is listed at $38,990 on Tesla's website, down from $40,240 previously.

Tesla cut the price of some Model 3 and Model Y versions in the U.S. after the company reported third-quarter deliveries that missed market expectations.

The starting price for the Model 3 is listed at $38,990 on Tesla’s website, down from $40,240 previously. The long range Model 3 fell from $47,240 to $45,990. And the Model 3 Performance fell to $50,990 from $53,240.

Tesla’s Model Y Performance sports utility vehicle now starts at $52,490, down from a previous price of $54,490.

Beginning at the end of last year, Tesla began cutting the prices of its cars across the world in a bid to stoke demand amid concerns over slowing consumer spending in markets like the U.S. and China and as competition in the electric vehicle space ramped up.

    Why not plug in hybrid, though. Seems like the best of both worlds since we don’t have an infrastructure fully in place.

      Wrong. Plugin hybrids are the worst of both worlds. You have extra complexity and maintenance requirements on top of reduced efficiency. EVs are the future and the charging infrastructure is only getting better. Reselling any ICE car within the next few years is going to be a losing proposition.

      Seems like anything you buy is somewhat of a gamble. Internal combustion engines/gasoline could be gone or (more likely) far less desirable in 10 years. As manufacturers begin switching to primarily electric cars, finding parts/labor for these vehicles may become challenging. With a hybrid, I wonder if you carry all the same risks (as far as the long term value of the vehicle) as a normal gasoline-powered car.

      But maybe the timeline for this is more like 20 years.
