Tesla cuts prices for Models 3 and Y amid growing competition

Tesla has lowered the price of the basic versions of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles as new all-electric competitors from Chevrolet, Volkswagen and Ford go on sale.

The Model 3 Standard Range Plus is now $ 1,000 cheaper, at $ 36,990, while the price of the Model Y Standard Range has been reduced to $ 39,990, which is $ 2,000 less than when it was originally launched in January.

However, the price of the Performance versions of both models was increased by $ 1,000 to $ 55,990 for Model 3 and $ 59,990 for Model Y.

The Model 3 Standard Range Plus is rated at 263 miles per load and the Model Y Standard Range at 244 miles.

The move follows the Sunday debut of the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, which is smaller than the Tesla Model Y, but starts at $ 33,995.
