Tesla announced on Sunday that its worldwide deliveries rose 83% from April to June.
This was a record quarter with more than 466,000 vehicles delivered, and the boost was likely due to steep price cuts, The Wall Street Journal reported, with one example being the Model Y SUV, which started at $65,990 in early January and is now at $50,490.
