Tesla Inc. continues to have an ever-expanding inventory, which suggests that CEO Elon Musk is serious about his promise to keep cutting prices to make Tesla’s cars more affordable. According to recent reports, the automaker’s inventory of vehicles has grown significantly over the past few months and now stands at nearly $3 billion. This is a sharp increase from the company’s inventory levels of just over $2 billion reported earlier in 2020.

CEO Elon Musk on Tesla Swelling Inventories

Tesla’s inventory of unsold cars has been steadily increasing in recent months, according to new data. This suggests that Elon Musk may continue cutting prices in order to move the vehicles off the lot. The electric-car maker had about 7,600 cars in inventory at the end of June, which is more than double what it was a year ago. The increase in inventory comes despite Tesla’s sales being relatively strong; they were up 3% from last year during the first quarter.

The growth in Tesla’s inventory can be attributed largely to Musk’s ongoing effort to lower the price of its cars. Since January 2019, Musk has been offering generous discounts and other incentives such as longer financing terms and free Supercharging programs to encourage more customers to purchase Tesla vehicles. Musk has also announced plans to introduce a $25,000 electric car by the end of 2021.

Tesla Price Cuts

Analysts believe that if Tesla can keep up this trend of reducing prices and increasing its inventory, then the company could be well-positioned to capitalize on an increase in demand for its products. That said, some analysts have expressed concern about the longer-term implications of such aggressive price cuts. They point out that continued heavy discounts could erode profits and potentially create cash flow problems for the company in the long run. With competition from other electric-car manufacturers heating up, Tesla will need to be careful not to overprice its vehicles or risk losing customers.

In any case, Musk’s strategy appears to be paying off in terms of increased sales volume and market share growth for Tesla. This suggests that he is likely to keep pushing for further price reductions to make Tesla vehicles more accessible to a wider range of customers.

For now, investors will have to wait and see how Musk’s strategy plays out over time. In the meantime, it is clear that Tesla’s swelling inventory indicates that Musk is serious about his promise to keep cutting prices and making Teslas more affordable.
