🚀 Price cuts at Tesla

Plus: FSD in China, BYD 'Shark', Magnesium batteries and more

Hey S3XY 🧤, Last weekend saw price drops across most models in all the major regions Tesla operates in. One time Full Self Driving (Supervised) also got cheaper by $4000 which was inevitable after FSD monthly plans witnessed 50% price cuts recently.
Every car company frequently changes price of their cars, though it doesn’t get hyped because its hidden due to dealership structure via markups and incentives/discounts.
And some other highlights from today’s letter 📨:

  • Elon's India trip postponed.

  • ‘X’ and ‘Grok’ in Tesla.

  • Baidu and Tesla partnership.

  • FSD v12.3.5 rolls out.

Let’s take a dive..👇🏻
