During Tesla’s “Investor Day”, which was held on last March 1st , Elon Musk explained that the company had noticed a big change in the demand for its products following the price cuts in January. “The desire of consumers to buy a Tesla is very high, but many cannot afford one. We have noticed that very small changes in the price of models have a very large impact on demand. »
Elon Musk predicts that the more Tesla improves its assembly processes, the more it will be possible for the automaker to reduce the price of its models in the future. He says demand will go “crazy” when the manufacturer can sell models that are accessible to everyone.
