Both areas are tesla’s target car consumer market.

In December it said further cuts were unlikely

At the end of Last December, Regarding the price of Tesla, Tesla Vice President Tao Lin said that the price of electric vehicles is related to the cost. Currently, Tesla’s target of localization rate has been basically achieved, and further price reduction is unlikely in the future.

At the same time, Tao pointed out that if the price of raw materials or components increases in the future, Tesla could also see price increases.

As early as October, Tao Lin said that price adjustment is a highly confidential work that requires repeated calculations and only a small number of participants. What she can do is to prepare internal procedures as soon as the final confirmation is made and inform everyone as soon as possible, because no matter when the announcement is made, there will be a group of consumers who recently picked up their cars affected. Except for a very small number of employees involved in price measurement, all colleagues are informed of price adjustment information almost at the same time with consumers, so there is really no case of staff deliberately concealing and misleading consumers.
