Tesla launches cheaper Model Y vehicle in the US
Tesla planned an affordable car with a stripped-down version of its top-selling SUV, but its production launch was delayed. (Tesla pic) CALIFORNIA : Tesla launched a cheaper version of its Model Y vehicle in the US on Tuesday. The new long range rear-wheel drive version costs about US$44,990, before a US$7,500 federal tax credit, the electric vehicle makers' website showed. Including the tax credit, the new vehicle will cost US$37,490. Reuters previously reported that Tesla's plans for an affordable car included a stripped-down version of its best-selling electric SUV, but the production launch had been delayed. Tesla's Model Y long range all-wheel drive version in the US did not see any cost adjustment and is priced at US$48,990. Tesla's quarterly sales plunged 13% to the weakest in nearly three years, hurt by a backlash against CEO Elon Musk's politics and rising global competition. The company is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on July 23.
