Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) has cut prices on its two most expensive electric vehicles in the United States, according to the company's website, days after Chief Executive Elon Musk said recent price cuts on other models had stoked demand.
The price cuts, Tesla's fifth adjustment since the start of the year, ranged from 4% on the performance version of the Model S to 9% on the more expensive Model X.
Musk has said repeatedly in recent months that Tesla would focus on bringing prices down to drive demand and that it had seen success in sparking orders with global discounts introduced in January.
"The desire for people to own a Tesla is extremely high. The limiting factor is their ability to pay for a Tesla," Musk said last week at Tesla's investor day.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the most recent price cuts.
Tesla slashed prices on its cars across all of its markets in January, offering discounts of up to 20% in what many analysts saw as the start of a price war by the electric vehicle market leader.
It has been adjusting prices since with a pace and frequency that goes beyond what established automaker's have attempted in an industry where a car's base price is still referred to as a "sticker price" on a vehicle in inventory.
The Model S and Model X, which come in base all-wheel drive (AWD) and performance "Plaid" editions, represented about 4% of Tesla's global deliveries in 2022. Its two cheaper models, the Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover, made up the rest.
Tesla's website showed it had cut prices on both versions of its Model S by $5,000. The basic version of Model S was cut by 5% to $89,990, while the price of the performance, Plaid variant was cut by 4% to $109,990.
Prices of both the performance and basic variants of Model X cars were cut by $10,000, the electric vehicle maker's website showed. The price of the basic, AWD version of the Model X was cut by 9% to $99,990 while its performance Plaid version was cut by 8% to $109,990.
Tesla has a new version of the Model 3 codenamed "Highland" scheduled to go into production later this year and a change to the Model Y codenamed "Juniper" for next year, Reuters has reported.

Knocking on the Wrong Door at Night
Today, we are taking a trip up to Chester in Orange County, New York, and the surveillance footage on this one is crazy, y'all!
We are looking at John C. Riley, the elected Town Highway Superintendent and a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL).
On the night of May 2, 2024, a 24-year-old delivery driver named Alpha Barry was trying to drop off food, but his phone died. Unable to pull up his GPS, he went door-to-door looking for directions and asking to charge his phone.
When he knocked on Riley’s door, Riley screamed at him to get off his property. Barry turned around, walked down the driveway, got back inside his vehicle, and turned on the ignition to drive away.
That should ...

The Big Update: Motion for New Trial DENIED
Today, we are closing the loop on the latest development in the Karmelo Anthony murder case out of Collin County, Texas, and the legal reality is crazy, y'all!
As you know, Anthony's legal team successfully got the original trial judge recused over comments made in a TV interview, and a new judge stepped in to review the defense's Motion for a New Trial.
The defense based their motion heavily on two points:
That the trial courtroom was improperly closed to the public at certain points.
That the pre-trial "gentleman's agreement" to exclude prior bad acts violated Anthony's constitutional right to testify in his own defense.
Well, the ruling just came down: the judge officially ...

The Trial "Gentleman's Agreement" Explodes
Today, we are diving right back into the Karmelo Anthony murder case out of Collin County, Texas, and the 75-page evidentiary dossier that just got unsealed is crazy, y'all!
During the murder trial—where Anthony was convicted of stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a high school track meet and sentenced to 35 years—the defense and prosecution had what’s known as a "gentleman's agreement." Both sides agreed to keep out prior bad acts from both the victim and the defendant so the jury wouldn't get completely prejudiced.
Now, Anthony’s new defense team is arguing for a new trial, claiming their client was blocked from testifying because prosecutors threatened to ...
