The announcement sent Tesla’s stock tumbling over 3% in the market pre-open.</p> 
<h3 id="tesla-trims-prices-of-china-made-model-y-versions">Tesla Trims Prices of China-made Model Y Versions</h3> 
<p>Shares of Tesla plunged 3% in premarket trading Monday after the electric vehicle (EV) maker announced fresh price cuts in China to address the sales slowdown in the world’s largest auto market. The stock was at $235 in premarket at the time of publication.</p> 
<p>The share price slip comes after Elon Musk’s car manufacturer reduced prices of its Model Y long-range and performance models in China, per the company’s notice released on Aug. 14. Specifically, Tesla trimmed the starting prices of both versions by 14,000 yuan (around $1,900). The long-range Model Y base model is now 4.5% cheaper at 299,900 yuan, while Model Y Performance starts at 349,900 yuan, down 3.8%.</p> 
<p>In addition, Tesla said it would provide insurance subsidies in China of 8,000 yuan for those who opt for entry-level, real-wheel-drive versions of Model 3 cars. Customers can apply for subsidies between Aug. 14 and Sept. 30.</p>
