Tesla also announced that it was closing all of its stores, doing away with test drives and would begin selling vehicles on line, an abrupt operational shift designed to save money. Adding further to the non-stop drama surrounding almost everything the automaker does, federal safety officials have initiated a probe into the reasons for two recent fatal crashes of Tesla vehicles. The company has cut prices on its Model 3, suggesting to some that they’re not selling as briskly as Tesla had projected. Like Tesla’s Model S and Model X, Polestar intends to stay on the premium side of the market. Which leaves Tesla in first place as the most successful manufacturer of EVs in the world for the time being.
