Tesla Model 3 vehicles are shown for sale at a Tesla facility in Long Beach, California, U.S., May 22, 2023.
The price cuts by Tesla - now by about 2.7% to 4.2% - started in January to support sales in an uncertain economy and fend off competition from U.S. automakers such as Ford and China's BYD.
The standard Model 3 sedan is now $1,250 cheaper at $38,990, while the Model Y long-range variant costs $2,000 less at $48,490, the automaker's website showed.
Overall, the standard Model 3's prices have come down by about 17% since the start of the year, while the Model Y long-range variant has seen a drop of over 26%.
The price cuts will also add pressure on the "Detroit Three" as they deal with an unprecedented strike by autoworkers' union.
