TESLA INC. (NASDAQ:TSLA): Tesla bulls shrugged off another round of price slashing on some Model 3 cars in the U.S.
Tesla stock ran up 1.84% on Friday, to close at $180.14, despite that the company is offering discounts of more than $1,300 on some Model 3 cars in its U.S. inventory, following even heavier discounts in Europe, per Reuters. The U.S. Model 3 rear-wheel drive will now cost as low as $37k+ after the federal tax credit. The deep discounts came on the heels of leaks that Tesla may launch the new redesigned Model 3, code name Highland, in Q4 this year.
Tesla stock has gained bullish momentum since its May 16 annual shareholder's meeting and is now approaching an area of resistances near the $182.33 level. The stock could pull back to $165.80 or break out to retest its 200-day EMA at ~ $198.40. It could all depend on the May sales of China-made Tesla EVs, which are due in about two weeks.
