Read the latest Tesla news here. At TorqueNews we cover Tesla’s automotive and financial news, and do reviews so that you can make the best decision when it comes to buying your next car, or if you’re just in the mood to learn a little about Tesla.

Tesla is one of the most well known names in the modern day automotive industry. It is the leading automotive manufacturer for battery powered cars. Yes, that means zero gasoline usage. It is without question that the evil genius behind this company, Elon Musk, has done anything except the abnormal. Their brand released their first car in 2008 and today in 2020 it is one of the most popular and practical options you can get on the market. Tesla’s have entered the market from the top down as they are quickly on their way to meet the $20,000 to $30,000 price mark, but their most popular models are $35,000 and above.

The brand is most noted by their quirky leader, their long range capabilities under one singular charge, their surprising performance aspects, and their cutting edge technology. Currently, the Model S holds the record for the longest range on one charge which was 370 miles, but Elon claims 400 miles is coming soon and also claims that the coming soon 2nd gen Tesla Roadster will not only be the fastest production car, but it will also have a range of 620 miles which is absurd.

  • Teslas Model 3 ————————————— Starting MSRP $35,000
  • Tesla Model S ————————————— Starting MSRP $75,000
  • Tesla Model X ————————————— Starting MSRP $81,000
  • Tesla Model Y ————————————— Starting MSRP $52,990

This Is Incredible! Tesla Price Cuts, Tax Subsidies, and Gas-Only Competitors - Now That's Amazing!
By Armen Hareyan on
Tesla observers see the massive price cut in the United States and Canada as a very positive move by Tesla. This move is expected to immediately increase Tesla sales. These massive price cuts should also put Tesla way ahead of its competition. Tesla is going to put a lot of pressure on the competition. Tesla can afford to make smaller margins for a long time. However, Tesla’s price cuts will greatly pressure GM and other EV makers in the US: particularly GM and VW. Ford is somewhat safe until the Cybertruck ramps.
