How will this impact Tesla’s profitability going forward, and what further price adjustments can we expect to see in 2025? With the Megafactory in Shanghai reportedly starting production on February 11th, will this be enough to offset the January slowdown and regain momentum in the Chinese market? Lets discuss the implications of these recent developments for Tesla’s long-term strategy in China and globally. What are your predictions for Tesla's performance in the coming quarters?
