(Reuters) – Tesla launched on Tuesday a cheaper version of its model Y model in the United States.
The new long -range long -range version costs around $ 44,990, before a federal tax credit of $ 7,500, according to the website of the electric vehicle manufacturer. Including the tax credit, the new vehicle will cost $ 37,490.
Reuters previously reported that Tesla's plans for an affordable car included a bare version of its best -selling electric SUV, but the launch of production had been delayed.
In the United States, the long-range version of Tesla Y model in the United States has not seen any costs adjustment and is at a price of $ 48,990.
Tesla's quarterly sales dived 13% to the lowest in almost three years, injured by a reaction against the CEO Elon Musk policy and increasing global competition.
The company should publish second quarter results in July. (This story has been corrected to say that Tesla will publish the results of the second quarter, not in the third quarter, and in July, not on July 23, in paragraph 6)
