Elon Musk plans to make his company Tesla financially better: he wants to close shops and dismiss employees. Worldwide, it should be possible to buy an e-car within a minute on the smartphone.
The US company Tesla shifts all its sales on the Internet: the move should help to lower prices, said company chief Elon Musk. Many of the Tesla stores are due to close, the remaining ones being used as showrooms and information centers. This will also be associated with job cuts, said Musk. There is no other way for Tesla to be financially sustainable.
In the US, you could buy a Tesla on your smartphone within a minute, and that’s how it should be around the world soon.
Model 3 for $ 35,000
At the same time announced Musk that Tesla’s hopes Model 3 is now finally sold at the originally proposed price of $ 35,000 before taxes and electric car perks. Among other things, the version has a smaller battery. This is the lowest price at which Tesla can sell a Model 3, said Musk.
In 2017, the model 3 shipments initially started with a more expensive, upgraded version that could reach a price of around $ 70,000. Recently, a version for just over $ 40,000 was on the market.
In Germany, a variant of the Model 3 with long-range battery and four-wheel drive from 55,400 euros and the sportier performance version from 66,100 euros are delivered since some weeks.
