I'm tired of the media saying Tesla started a price war. That is BS.
We are seeing another advantage Tesla has that I don't hear discussed much in the community. Because Tesla sells direct to the consumer and takes all orders online, Tesla knows its demand at any given instant for any specific locale. This allows them to adjust price and supply anywhere in the world in an immediate reaction to demand fluctuation. No other major automaker can do that so efficiently.
There is no price war. Tesla is simply adjusting its prices to maximize profit on its increased production capacity. Why? Because they can.
