Stellantis CEO Warns of 'Bloodbath' in EV Market Amid Price Cuts

Tesla's strategy of slashing prices on its Model Y SUV criticized as other automakers cut back on EV production.

  • Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares warns against price reductions in the electric vehicle (EV) market, stating it could lead to a 'bloodbath' and make car manufacturers acquisition targets.
  • Tesla recently cut prices on its best-selling SUV Model Y in China and Europe, a move Tavares criticizes, suggesting it could lead to a collapse in profitability.
  • Stellantis, one of the largest EV sellers in Europe, is launching its first all-electric models in the US this year, including the Jeep Avenger and an all-electric version of the Dodge Charger.
  • Other automakers like Ford have announced plans to cut back on EV production due to slower than expected demand.
  • Despite the price cuts, Tesla's profit margin decreased by over 40% year-over-year, as of last year's Q3 earnings report.
