Tesla’s fifth adjustment since the start of 2023

Tesla has cut prices for its most expensive models, ranged from 4 percent on the performance version of the Model S to 9 percent on the more expensive Model X.

The Guardian »

Tesla slashed prices on its cars across all its markets in January, offering discounts of up to 20% in what many analysts saw as the start of a price war by the electric vehicle market leader.

It has been adjusting prices since with a pace and frequency that goes beyond what established automakers have attempted in an industry where a car’s base price is still referred to as a “sticker price” on a vehicle in inventory.

The Model S and Model X, which come in base all-wheel drive (AWD) and performance “Plaid” editions, represented about 4% of Tesla’s global deliveries in 2022. Its two cheaper models, the Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover, made up the rest.

Throttle House’s video review of the Tesla Model S Plaid

Conclusion » It’s great at accelerating in a straight line, but not much else.

The Tesla Model S Plaid is the quickest accelerating production car on the market. Tesla claims a blistering quarter mile time of 9.3 seconds with a trap speed of 155 mph (249 kph).

But at CDN$191,000 or USD$148,000, one would hope for power steering system that can keep up, a decent suspension capable of carrying you safely around a corner, and much better brakes.

Like many other things involving Elon Musk, it seems, safety was not the priority when designing the Tesla Model S Plaid.
