The latest round of price adjustments made by Tesla to its lineup of electric cars has made the entry-level Model Y crossover more affordable than the average new car or truck in the United States, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

More to the point, the cheapest Tesla Model Y<\/a> now has an MSRP of $46,990 (without destination charge), which is $759 less than the average price of a new car or truck sold in the US.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an important development that helps change the mentality of some people who think that EVs are massively overpriced \u2013 although there are still a lot of models on the market that cost well above $50,000, even in Tesla<\/a>\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n

Besides the Model Y, Tesla\u2019s Model 3<\/a> has long had an MSRP under the average price for a new car in the United States, with the latest cuts bringing the starting price of Tesla\u2019s most affordable model at $39,990, which is $7,759 less than the average amount paid of a car or truck in the US.<\/p>\n

With this being said, Tesla isn\u2019t exactly making the cheapest EVs out there, with the Chevrolet Bolt EV<\/a> starting at $26,500 and other models like the Nissan Leaf<\/a> and Hyundai Kona Electric<\/a> being priced from under $40,000. However, few \u2013 if any \u2013 of the aforementioned EVs have the same clout in the world of EV enthusiasts as Tesla\u2019s offerings.<\/p>\n

Even though it had a rough start two decades ago, Tesla seems to be doing just fine now, considering the Model Y was the best-selling EV in the United States last year<\/a>. Moreover, the series of price cuts employed by Tesla in North America and other markets worldwide made some of its competitors question whether or not a full-blown EV price war is beneficial for anyone.<\/p>\n

Ford<\/a>\u2019s CEO Jim Farley said that price battles are \u201cbreaking out everywhere,\u201d while French carmaker Renault<\/a> said last week that Tesla\u2019s price cuts represent a challenge and that it\u2019s examining its price strategy in response.<\/p>\n
