1. Those two cars have been out long enough for them to know what sells and what doesn't

2. If they need to flash a lower price in marketing materials, they have the Model 3 now

Seems like a sensible move.

Yep. My guess is that they're making clear the Model S is on a higher tier than Model 3 by giving it even more autonomy for a lower price. Understandable move since M3 is known to have eaten up some sales of both S and X

Their website? Their brochures at their showrooms? Their embedded articles like this one?

I'm gonna let you in on a modern marketing secret: there's much more out there than buying ads.

Cutting prices (again) on a product for which there is "unlimited demand" and they claim to not be able to build fast enough while the company loses hundreds of millions of dollars is sensible?
