>Tesla also lowered the starting price of its mass-market Model 3 to $38,990.

Note that the price cut is offset by the 50% reduction in federal tax credits from $3,750 to $1,875.

I'd rather have the price cut than the tax credit it they are for the same nominal amount ($1,875). First, you don't pay taxes or licensing on that amount and second if you financed the car you don't pay interest on that amount.
