Tesla raised the base prices of the Model S sedan and Model X SUV's Long Range variants by $5,000 on July 8th,
bringing the two vehicles' starting prices to $84,990 and $94,990, respectively.
However, Tesla just launched a lower-cost Model Y in China, where it is facing increased scrutiny from regulators and the public, as well as increased competition from local rivals. The standard-range Model Y, which was unveiled on Thursday, has a starting price of 276,000 yuan ($42,588) after government subsidies, which is roughly 20% less than the long-range Model Y.
Tesla's sales of Chinese-made vehicles fell in June compared to the previous month, according to the China Passenger Car Association on Thursday.
