🚘 Breaking: Tesla presents new entry-level variants! 🚘

Today $TSLA (+0,48%) made headlines with the unveiling of its new standard versions of Model 3 and Model Y - a strategic response to declining demand and increasing competitive pressure.

🔍 What's new?

The Model 3 Standard starts at around 36,990 USD, the Model Y Standard at 39,990 USD.

To reduce costs, various features will be removed or slimmed down: fewer speakers, simpler interior materials, no FM/AM radio, elimination of Autosteer in the basic version, among others.

Range: Both models should be able to travel around 321 miles (≈ 517 km).

Deliveries will begin between November 2025 and January 2026

Despite the more moderate prices, Tesla shares slipped significantly after the models were announced - many investors had expected more.

The reason: these "budget versions" remain far removed from the often-cited goal of a truly affordable electric car (e.g. under USD 30,000).

In addition, Tesla's previous unique position is dwindling: competition from China and other markets is putting pressure on prices and margins.

I really like the cars myself. Beautiful design and a pioneering car in electromobility. I have been invested in Tesla for a long time and will remain so.

What do you think of the new models and the company?

They're also getting uglier and uglier. The Chinese are running away (not only) in terms of design...

@jkb92 the China tin cans are only bought because they are heavily subsidized. I've only seen one BYD so far, but thousands of Teslas.

@Brandon90 Without subsidies, Chinese cars would be less attractive in Europe, but not without a chance.
They benefit greatly from state support, but also offer genuine technical quality and innovation.

PS: The "new" Tesla really doesn't look innovative.....

@Brandon90 is not true. Go to France. And here in Germany, it's just getting started. There are very chic showrooms in all major German cities. You have to put in a lot of marketing effort with the Germans because they prefer to buy the same quality for a lot of money out of a misguided sense of (brand) patriotism (and I'm not talking about luxury cars). As we all know, taste is subjective and I find some of the Chinese cars very stylish (for example Nio, Lucid, BYD Seal)...

@7Trader I say yes. China is subsidizing so that the cars are bought. The new models are not supposed to be innovative, but affordable. If you want innovation, take a look at the Tesla Roadster on the website. In 2.1 seconds to 100km/h, +400km/h maximum speed and 1000 km range and therefore faster than many Porsche models

@Brandon90 don't get anywhere, but we don't have to :)

@jkb92 no. The nice thing is, everyone can decide for themselves what they like 🤪

@Brandon90 China subsidizes electric cars, among other things, to secure technological independence, economic strength and global power.
A completely normal cut-throat competition. But that doesn't make them bad vehicles. I don't understand your approach at all. You're a Tesla fanboy and are completely closed to other opinions.
Such an attitude is certainly not an advantage on the stock market

@7Trader I like the company, but I'm still open to other technologies or companies. You don't know me, so you don't need to make any insinuations here. I'm pro-Tesla and I'm allowed to be. If someone should drive a Chinese car, then they should do it. I merely gave the example that you see far more Teslas than Chinese cars. And because you mentioned the stock market: my investment in Tesla has paid off 😉

I have to say that I used to find Tesla very interesting as an investment. In the meantime, however, I think they have lost a lot of ground. The sales figures continue to fall, the competition from Europe and especially Asia is gaining more and more ground. The extremely hyped Cybertruck is turning out to be a total flop and Optimus, whenever it comes, will in my opinion find a few fanboys who will buy it, but if you look at Asia, they are already further ahead. At almost every household or technology trade fair there you can find human robots that are about to go into production. But hardly anyone in the rest of the world talks about them. They were once leaders in autonomous driving, but here too the lead has melted away and robotaxis like those from Waymo are happily doing their rounds around Tesla without safety drivers. No, I have to say that Tesla is a stock in which far too much is priced into the share price and which will find it increasingly difficult to live up to this extremely high valuation in the future. Apart from that, I find the cars extremely ugly... but fortunately tastes differ ;-)

@Kauli I don't buy Tesla just because of the cars. Tesla does so much. Cars, solar panels, supercharger networks, software and AI, autonomous driving, robotics, restaurants and what many don't have on their radar are the energy storage systems. Extremely high valuation yes, but doesn't mean it has to be a bad investment. Look at Palantir, Droneshield and Rheinmetall. Valuation is far too high but people are buying. And why? Because they want to have a future in their portfolio.

Hey, apart from the car. What do you expect from the Tesla share price? And what were your motives behind the investment? I started a savings plan on Tesla some time ago because I believe that Elon Musk is someone who has very ambitious goals, but can also sell them well and so I don't want to bet against a genius 😅 my target price in five years will be €1500...

•

Brandon90@Brandon90

@Klein-Anleger1 With Tesla, you buy the future. The company has an enormous amount of liquidity for research. Tesla and Optimus were just the beginning. I am sure that what will drive Tesla up is not yet known. 1500 euros in 5 years - I'll definitely go along with that. This year we will see at least 500-700 euros😁🚀

I don't like $TSLA. I don't like the cars. I don't think the price/performance ratio is right at all. I think they only live from the castles in the air that the CEO builds.
But I'm still taking the opportunity to make good profits with two derivatives, as I don't allow my investment decisions to be guided by personal emotions.

•

Brandon90@Brandon90

@Multibagger Well, I think that's a matter of taste. I can see the price-performance ratio. They just don't bring many alternatives onto the market. But honestly, which electric car would be an alternative? Don't say Porsche now 😂 and good luck with your investment 😌🫶🏽

•

Chris@Multibagger

@Brandon90 I actually find many Chinese models more interesting.

Brandon90@Brandon90

@Multibagger This has gone too far for me. I'm switching back to a landline!

•

Chris@Multibagger

@Brandon90 You meant in terms of price, didn't you? So in the long term I am convinced by $9868.

The quality of the Tesla continues to decline, and the Chinese are happy because they are building ever higher quality vehicles that the market is slowly beginning to accept.
