Price cut is good as it cement

2023-08-16

Price cut is good as it cements its position as a leader in the EV industry. Analysts should not just see price drops as affecting margins. As a retail investor, I would like to see they sell more to remain market leader since they have the capabilities to produce the volume. When Tesla rivals can't play volume game, Tesla will neventually emerge as a winner (with more cars to make up for the same or more profits). It's a tough market so please stop seeing price car as an equation to bad sales.

Tesla Shares Drop 1% After Cutting China Prices For the Second Time in Three Days
