Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies
- Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.
- The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.
- The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.
- The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.

Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership
- South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.
- The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.
- The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.
- During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.
