Tesla is pushing their prices up, not down. They just raised prices on the Model Y by $1000 and the rest of their models will get a 3% price increase April 1st.
I'd like for the world to switch from ICEs to EVs overall. Profits are great, but they aren't everything. Amazon's done fairly well with little profit.

Tesla is pushing prices down overall, although I think Elon was a bit too ambitious with his plan to close all their retail stores. For comparison, a RWD LR 3 started at $51,200 with the delivery fee last year, and now runs $45,700.

I look forward to Tesla increasing production and further reducing costs.
