Tesla Inc has slashed prices on its Model 3 electric car in China.
According to the California-based electric carmaker's Chinese website, prices of certain Model 3 cars were cut by up to 7.6 percent. The starting price for a Model 3 in China now is 499,000 yuan ($72,000).
It was the third time in the past two months that Tesla adjusted its prices in China. In November, the company cut the prices of its Model X and Model S cars by 12 to 26 percent.
Tesla at the time said it was "absorbing a significant part of the tariff to help make cars more affordable for customers in China."
