Tesla Rolls Out New Base Model S and X for $10,000 Less
16.08.2023 - 02:25 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Elon Musk / New
Tesla Inc. added new lower-range iterations of the Model S sedan and Model X sport utility vehicle to its lineup that cost $10,000 less than their previous base prices.
The Standard Range Model S starts at $78,490 and offers an estimated 320 miles (515 kilometers) of range, while the Standard Range Model X is priced from $88,490 and goes 269 miles on a charge, Tesla's website shows.
As both the oldest and most expensive vehicles in Tesla's lineup, the Model S and X aren't nearly as important to the company as the Model 3 sedan or Model Y SUV. But while the Model S and X account for a fraction of sales — roughly 3.4% of first-half deliveries — the prices they've commanded until recently helped buoy the company's profit margins.
The starting price of the Model S has now dropped 25%, or $26,500, since the beginning of the year, while the Model X has come down 27%, or $32,500.
Tesla shares were little changed at the start of regular trading Tuesday in New York. The stock has almost doubled this year.
Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said last month that Tesla would have to keep lowering prices if interest rates continued to rise, and has warned he's willing to sacrifice profitability to keep growing sales. The company's automotive gross margin fell to a four-year low in the second quarter.
The introduction of cheaper versions of the Model S and X is the second move Tesla has made in as many days to lower prices. On Monday, the company discounted the middle and high-end iterations of the Model Y in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,900), fueling concerns of a renewed price war in the world's most hotly contested EV.

Google rolls out new feature for Gmail; will ask for verification ID; here is why
August has been a very busy month for Gmail. After introducing the native translation feature for its mobile app earlier this month, now it is getting new security features to protect it from bad actors and cybercriminals. These features will add a layer of security to sensitive actions within Gmail, that can lead to dangerous outcomes. Google will evaluate when certain tasks such as adding a forwarding address, creating or editing filters, or enabling the IMAP access status are performed. After its evaluation, if Google feels the action could be considered risky, it will ask the user to verify their identity.

Threads web version finally rolling out today
The wait is finally over! Ever since its launch on July 5, many were wondering why the newest social media platform by Meta, Threads, was only available on mobile apps and not as a website. The Instagram-powered text-based platform was touted to get a web app by both Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram head Adam Mosseri. Yet, almost two months later, it still was not live. But this changed just a few hours ago when Zuckerberg posted a picture of him working on the Threads website and officially announced the web version of Threads. The web version will begin rolling out starting today. All users across the globe will get it over the next few days.
