Tesla's Strategy for Affordable Models
Tesla reportedly cut the price of its cars and removed Autosteer lane-centering to encourage more buyers to purchase Full Self-Driving (FSD).
This move was revealed after the company launched its cheaper Model 3 and Model Y "Standard" trims, which received a mixed reception from fans.
- Fans were either satisfied with the reveal or felt that Tesla removed too many features to make the car worth the money.
- Lower-cost options like the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt are available at a lower price, making Tesla's decision questionable.
Tesla neutered its Autopilot driver assistance system by removing lane centering in its cheaper models.
This strategy has left people wondering about the company's motives.
