3 Threats That Could Shut Down Prius And Other Hybrid Production Permanently

In 1920 the Ford Model T was one of the most popular and affordable vehicles sold at the time. With the birth of a rapidly growing industry, people latched onto the automobile as a staple in their daily lives.

We do not usually hear about the negative things that went along with building the first automobiles. Congregations of workers from carriage companies strongly opposed automobiles. They knew it was a severe threat to their way of life.

Tesla cuts Model S prices by $3,000 in the US

Tesla quietly updated the pricing on its website overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. The two currently available variants of the Model S have been given $3,000 price cuts each. The Long Range Plus' price drops from $74,990 to $71,990, while the Performance variant goes from $94,990 and $91,990. The automaker's website also lists the Plaid model at $139,900, but it has not been given a price reduction; it'll be made available to consumers until next year. Heck, even the newest models aren't immune to price adjustments. In July, Tesla reduced the price of the Model Y by $3,000 to nudge its newest EV under the $50,000 mark.
