Tesla (TSLA) on Tuesday added two more affordable versions of the Model 3 and Model Y to its lineup, in a bid to halt a major slip in demand for its vehicles upon the expiry of the federal tax credit on the purchase of electric vehicles.With the addition of the standard version of the Model 3 and Model Y, each of the two mass-market vehicles now has four variants. This includes the cheapest standard variant, two premium variants, and the higher-end performance variant.Both the standard variants are priced below $40,000. While the standard rear-wheel drive variant of the Model 3 starts at $36,990, the standard variant of the Model Y starts at $39,990.Likewise, for every other variant, the Model Y variant is priced a few thousand dollars more than its respective Model 3 counterpart.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1240/828;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/g5_R7_E_tesla_model_y_3_starting_price_in_png_b35e9a6389.webp" alt="g5R7E-tesla-model-y-3-starting-price-in-.png" width="1240" height="828"></figure>Tesla Model 3 and Y are the company’s best-selling vehicles. In the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-reports-7-percent-rise-in-q3-deliveries/chCrXlDR3Ow">third quarter</a> (Q3) through the end of September, the company sold 481,166 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles globally, and merely 15,933 units of its more premium offerings, including the stainless steel Cybertruck, the Model S sedan, and the Model X SUV. Interestingly, Tesla sells only two variants of each of its more premium vehicles.Until the expiry of the federal EV tax credit, all available variants of the Model 3 and Model Y were also eligible for the incentive of $7,500, bringing down the end price for eligible customers and turning up the appeal factor.While some, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-stock-gains-after-hours-as-wall-street-weighs-cheaper-models-against-ai-margin-outlook/ch6ETXKR3hU">including</a> Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management, are hopeful that the cheaper variants will help boost sales of the company in time, The Future Fund Managing Partner, Gary Black, <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/garyblack00/status/1975882038021443991">believes</a> that the lower-priced variants won’t move the needle on Tesla sales as they are still more expensive than from before the expiry of the tax credit.“...these vehicles are not new form factors or new models that expand TAM in any sense; &nbsp;they are cheaper trims of the existing models with big sacrifices to range, performance, exterior aesthetics, and interior features (no glass sunroof, no rear display, cloth seats, no AM/FM radio, no ambient lighting, cheaper sound system),” Black said in a post on X. He also added that Tesla’s competition has already readied themselves for these lower priced vehicles by cutting prices on existing models.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1184/718;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_08_at_2_23_47_PM_png_963e50aeec.webp" alt="Screenshot of Gary Black's X Post" width="1184" height="718"><figcaption>Screenshot of Gary Black's X Post</figcaption></figure>Black now expects Tesla to slash prices further on these new, cheaper variants in the weeks and months ahead.

Stifel on Wednesday hiked the price target on Tesla (TSLA) to $483 from $440 on the heels of the company <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-stock-gains-after-hours-as-wall-street-weighs-cheaper-models-against-ai-margin-outlook/ch6ETXKR3hU">launching</a> cheaper versions of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in the U.S.The analyst’s new price target represents a potential upside of about 12% from the stock’s closing price on Tuesday.Stifel pinned the price target increase to its confidence in the company’s full self-driving technology and robotaxi. It believes the EV maker is making progress with modest advancements in both segments, as per TheFly. While having unsupervised FSD available for personal use in the U.S. by year-end 2025 appears to be a stretch, it “seems more likely in the medium term,” they noted.Stifel kept a ‘Buy’ rating on Tesla shares.

The update introduces improved parking navigation, smarter lane changing, emergency zone detection, and personalized driving adjustments, powered by a neural network 10 times larger than the previous version. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in an X post that many more improvements are yet to be rolled out under the new version 14.The company also launched lower-priced Model 3 and Y variants priced at $36,990 and $39,990, respectively, on Tuesday in a bid to balance the expected drop in sales following the expiry of the federal tax credit on EV purchases.Tesla stepped into the robotaxi segment in June by deploying Model Y vehicles with FSD technology in certain parts of Texas with a safety driver. The company said it is now looking forward to expanding the service and launching a dedicated robotaxi vehicle called Cybercab with no pedals or steering wheel in 2026.TSLA stock is up by 7% this year and by about 77% over the past 12 months.&nbsp;Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/indian-refiners-could-increase-russian-crude-import-as-discounts-widen/ch6EivtR3iP">Indian Refiners Could Increase Russian Crude Import As Discounts Widen</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

JPMorgan on Friday raised its price target on Tesla (TSLA) to $150 from $115 while keeping an ‘Underweight’ rating on the shares.The new price target implies a potential downside of about 66% from the stock’s closing price on Thursday.JPMorgan upped Tesla's estimates after the company reported third-quarter (Q3) deliveries of 497,099, which was 12% ahead of consensus. The firm now expects Q3 earnings per share for Tesla of $0.59, which is down 18% year-over-year but above its prior expectation of $0.48 and the consensus estimate of $0.50, as per TheFly.Tesla's Q3 benefited from a "temporary stronger-than-expected industry-wide pull-forward" of demand for electric vehicles in the U.S., the analyst told investors in a research note.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) stock drew investor attention on Friday after Jefferies revised its outlook on the tech giant, citing overly optimistic expectations surrounding future iPhone sales.Analyst Edison Lee downgraded Apple’s stock to ‘Underperform’ from ‘Hold’ and slightly adjusted the price target to $205.16, down from $205.82, according to TheFly.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple stock</a> inched 0.7% lower in Friday’s premarket and was among the top five trending equities on Stocktwits. Retail sentiment around the stock remained in ‘bearish’ territory amid ‘low’ message volume levels.&nbsp;The revised forecast comes amid concerns that investor enthusiasm around upcoming iPhone models has already been priced into the stock. Lee highlighted that demand for the iPhone 17 benefits from a pricing strategy that avoids increases on higher-end models, specifically the Pro and Pro Max, while introducing what he described as an "effective price cut" on the base version.&nbsp;However, the analyst believes these factors have already inflated expectations, making the market overly confident in the upcoming upgrade cycle. The analyst also said that investor sentiment surrounding Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone, possibly the iPhone 18 Fold, is leaning too far toward the optimistic side.&nbsp;According to Lee, the company’s current valuation prices in an "overly bullish iPhone outlook”.In September, several Wall Street firms&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/iphone-17-demand-outpaces-predecessor-as-preorder-wait-times-grow-says-wall-street/chDGDWcRd6M">suggested&nbsp;</a>that lead times for iPhone 17 preorders were lengthening, especially for base models and the new Air variant, indicating customers are eager.Apple had launched the new iPhone 17, iPhone Air with the A19 Pro chip, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max on September 9. Apple stock has gained over 2% year-to-date and over 13% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/qcls-stock-surges-15-percent-in-pre-market-today-inches-closer-to-6-mark/chCuSH4R3fC">QCLS Stock Surges 15% In Pre-Market Today, Inches Closer To $6 Mark</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
