Tesla Slashes Prices for Fifth Time This Year Amid Slowing Sales Growth
- Tesla has cut prices across its entire electric vehicle lineup for the fifth time in 2022.
- The move follows the company's failure to meet first quarter sales targets and aims to boost demand.
- Prices were reduced by up to $5,000 per vehicle, with the largest cuts affecting the Model S sedan and Model X SUV.
- Analysts worry profit margins could suffer if Tesla is unable to offset price cuts by reducing costs.
- Tesla hopes price drops will spur sales in an increasingly competitive EV market where demand has slowed after years of steady growth.
