Tesla Slashes HK Model 3 Price, Unveils Cybercab, Expands Robo-Taxi Fleet
TSLA sits 24% above its 52-week low of $297.38.
Summary
Tesla cut the Hong Kong Model 3 entry price by ~8.5% to HK$205,000 (~$26k) and set Macau pricing at 252,000 patacas (~$31k), a move that lifted U.S. shares ~3%. The company also unveiled the Cybercab, a two-seat, wheel-less, pedal-less vehicle built at Gigafactory Texas, with Musk suggesting a possible price under $30,000. Tesla is expanding its robo-taxi rollout, with occupant-free Cybercabs already deployed in Austin and a major Full Self-Driving v15 milestone targeted for late 2026–early 2027. France registrations surged 278.5% in August year-over-year, adding regional momentum. Separately, Terafab AI, tied to Tesla, won a tax-break deal for a Grimes County, TX site with a first-phase cost up to $55B and 3,000 jobs. The combination of aggressive pricing, new product unveiling, and autonomous expansion signals a broad push to capture demand and advance the robo-taxi narrative.
