New cut price for Tesla.

Tesla
Tesla has cut the prices of its most expens­ive mod­els in the US for a second time this year, fur­ther unrav­el­ling steep price increases that had con­trib­uted to a sharp fall in demand in 2022.

The start­ing price of the Model S has been reduced 5 per cent to $89,990, while the low­est-priced Model X has come down 9 per cent to $99,990, accord­ing to the com­pany’s web­site.

The start­ing price of its Model X jumped from about $99,000 to more than $120,000 last year, help­ing to sup­port Tesla’s industry-lead­ing profit mar­gins but con­trib­ut­ing to dis­ap­point­ing new vehicle deliv­er­ies in the final months of 2022.

Chief exec­ut­ive Elon Musk said last week that a round of price cuts in Janu­ary across all mar­kets and most of Tesla’s mod­els had an imme­di­ate impact in stok­ing higher sales. Speak­ing at Tesla’s first investor day, Musk claimed the demand for Tesla’s vehicles was «infin­ite» and the only thing hold­ing buy­ers back was afford­ab­il­ity, though he did not address the impact of price increases on damp­ing sales.

    I think we saw this coming, no? I was thinking they would do this again but not this soon to be honest. I was thinking maybe April or May would come with another discount.

      They've increased prices way too much when there was great demand for Tesla and now, of course they can offer discounts. I am going to wait even more because they will bring the prices down even further.

US FED rate rise.

  The US Federal Reserve officials have indicated that they plan to resume increasing interest rates to control inflation in the world's biggest economy. During the June meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee reached a consensus to keep interest rates stable for the time being to evaluate whether further tightening of policy would be necessary. However, the majority of the committee anticipates that additional rate increases will be required in the future. The minutes of the meeting have recently been made public. According to the minutes, most participants believed maintaining the federal funds rate at 5 to 5.25 per cent was appropriate or acceptable, despite some individuals wanting to raise the acceleration due to slow progress in cooling inflation. Although Fed forecasts predicted a mild recession starting later in the year, policymakers faced challenges in interpreting data that showed a tight job market and only slight improvements in inflation. Additionally, officials gr...

EU business slide.

  S&P Global’s flash eurozone composite purchasing managers’ index, a key gauge of business conditions for the manufacturing and services sector, fell 1 point to 47.1, figures showed yesterday. That is its lowest level since November 2020 and the fourth consecutive month below the crucial 50 mark separating growth from contraction. One of the few bright spots in the survey was that companies in all sectors reported a slight easing of cost pressures, price growth and supply chain constraints. However, prices charged for goods and services still rose at the sixth fastest rate since such data started in 2002. Jobs growth increased marginally from October but remained low compared with the past 18 months. Following a few months of falling price pressure in manufacturing and services, the October print shows an overall stabilisation said Jens Eisenschmidt, chief European economist at Morgan Stanley. However, German businesses, at the hub of Europe’s energy crisis, reported that manu...

Tariffs on UK electric cars.

  The European Commission has confirmed that it will continue with its plan to impose tariffs on electric cars exported between the UK and EU starting next year. This is due to the "rules of origin" requirement that mandates EVs traded across the English Channel to have 60% of their battery and 45% of their parts sourced from the EU or UK or face a 10% tariff. A senior Commission official, Richard Szostak, recently informed parliamentarians from the UK and EU that the bloc's battery investment has significantly declined, making the tariffs necessary to encourage domestic production. In 2022, the EU's share of global investment in battery production shrank from 41% to only 2% after the US offered substantial subsidies through its Inflation Reduction Act. Starting in 2024, car manufacturers in the UK will need to have 22% of their sales come from zero-emission vehicles, which means they may need to import EVs from the continent to meet this requirement. If EU carmakers ...
