Tesla Inc reduced the price of its sport utility vehicle Model Y by $3,000, just four months after its launch to maintain sales momentum during the pandemic.
The starting price of Model Y is now at $49,990, down almost six percent from its former price of $52,990.

Its second-quarter total of 90,650 vehicles delivered surpassed the 72,000 forecasted by Wall Street analysts.
