"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk showed off his company's all-electric \"Cybertruck\" on Thursday, touting its versatility and toughness. But the truck's unique design — it follows one angle from the front bumper to the top of the windshield, for instance — threw some Tesla fans for a loop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And during a demonstration to show off the truck's \"armor glass,\" the windows smashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In typical Tesla style, the unveiling in Los Angeles included a countdown clock and an auditorium full of fans and journalists. The truck drove onto the stage through wafts of artificial smoke, and music drummed through loudspeakers. On the periphery, pyrotechnic flames rose as the vehicle stopped in front of a graffiti-style Cybertruck graphic, in stark black and white. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk had teased several of the design cues ahead of the event, citing influences from \u003cem>Bladerunner\u003c/em> to the James Bond movie \u003cem>The Spy Who Loved Me\u003c/em>. Both films featured vehicles with sharply angled front ends and overall wedge shapes — an approach to car design that's been seen as futuristic and aerodynamic since Alfa Romeo created the knifelike \u003ca href=\"https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/classic-concepts-1968-alfa-romeo-carabo\">Carabo\u003c/a> concept car in 1968. Others followed, such as Lamborghini's angular Countach and the Lotus Esprit, one of which was made into an amphibious vehicle for Roger Moore's James Bond — a car that \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/18/tesla-elon-musk-james-bond-lotus-submarine-car\">Musk bought in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The front of the Cybertruck angles up to a point just above the front-seat headrests, where it meets an even longer slope down to the rear — a continuous plane that includes both a transparent roof panel and the truck's rolltop bed cover, which retracts behind the back seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk seems to have expected the wedge-shaped design to split some potential customers, saying months before the truck's long-awaited unveiling that \u003ca href=\"https://electrek.co/2019/03/15/tesla-cyberpunk-electric-pickup-truck-teaser-elon-musk/\">its look\u003c/a> \"may be too futuristic for most people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11788182\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/cybertruck-5_wide-a71c29f4a3bb25b815a5eea6bb234c41e4e3fd27-800x450.jpe\" alt=\"Tesla unveiled its Cybertruck electric vehicle Thursday night.

Need to sleep on it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, she elaborated somewhat: \"I've slept on it now, but my facial expression is still the same. I think I might have gotten chronic shocked \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cybertruck?src=hashtag_click\">#Cybertruck\u003c/a> face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SimoneGiertz/status/1197929481454813184?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics called it a doorstop or a very ugly DeLorean — or something that might be seen in an old vector-graphic video game. But the truck also had its defenders, who seem to chalk up the initial negative comments to the Cybertruck's bold look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Really disappointed by my colleagues at so many pubs who are dismissing the Cybertruck because it looks weird,\" \u003cem>Roadshow \u003c/em>Editor-in-Chief Tim Stevens \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Tim_Stevens/status/1197783753705185284\">said via Twitter\u003c/a>. He added, \"Many of these same colleagues spent this entire week lamenting an industry that is churning out samey, half-assed crossover SUVs. I'll take weird over anonymous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter user David Wu \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/libdave/status/1197750810261647361\">compared it to a stealth fighter\u003c/a>: \"The F35 of pickup trucks. Don't think my mind has ever been blown like this before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla says the Cybertruck drives better than most sports cars and is more useful than a normal truck. From a standing start, the truck's maxed-out version can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, according to the company. And on paper at least, the pairing of electric motors — known for their high torque output — with a truck would seem to be a slam-dunk concept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But pickup trucks, like most automobiles, are also sold on image. And both Tesla and Musk have repeatedly played up the new electric truck's ruggedness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want a truck that's really tough? Not fake tough?\" Musk asked the crowd Thursday night. He also said Tesla will make the exterior of the Cybertruck from a stainless steel alloy developed by his companies. \"We're going to be using the same alloy in the Starship rocket,\" Musk said, referring to his SpaceX project. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is literally bulletproof to a 9 mm handgun, that's how strong the skin is,\" Musk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then things went off track with the \"Tesla armor glass\" strength test. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7atGkba-Z8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A metal ball was dropped onto a sheet of what Musk described as \"regular car glass,\" leaving a long crack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To test a sheet of Tesla's glass, the metal ball was taken up to a height of around 10 feet and dropped again. The \"armor glass\" remained intact. But Musk didn't stop there — he turned the ball over to Tesla's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, who had previously whacked the truck's doors with a sledgehammer to show its durability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Franz, could you try to break this glass, please?\" Musk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You sure?\" von Holzhausen asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without much of a windup, von Holzhausen whirled the ball at Tesla's brand-new truck — leaving a nasty-looking spiderweb of splintered and dented glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well,\" Musk said afterward. \"Maybe that was a little too hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staring at the ruined window, one hand on his chin, Musk added, \"It didn't go through. That's the plus side.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then von Holzhausen asked if they should try the rear window. Musk agreed, and was soon standing in front of two pock-marked windows for the rest of the carefully stage-managed event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not bad,\" Musk summed up that portion of the night, adding, \"Room for improvement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cybertruck has six seats and a cargo bed (or \"vault,\" as Tesla calls it) that's 6 1/2 feet long. Its tailgate also hides a ramp, for rolling materials or vehicles into the bed. The truck is 231.7 inches (19.3 feet) long, nearly 80 inches wide and 75 inches tall. Tesla lists its maximum range at more than 500 miles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truck will be offered in a wide spectrum of driving range and weight capacity, depending on which motor is powering the vehicle. While the basic single-motor truck would have a range of around 250 miles and a tow rating of 7,500 pounds using rear-wheel drive, the three-motor all-wheel-drive version would double that range and be capable of towing 14,000 pounds, Tesla says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The starting price for the CyberTruck is $39,900. In the most high-powered version, it would cost $69,900. The company is taking preorders now, with a $100 deposit required to reserve a vehicle that Tesla says will hit the market in about two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps reflecting the uncertainty over the new design, Tesla's stock price fell overnight and continued to dip on Friday, down by around 6% at midday ET. But as \u003ca href=\"https://www.investors.com/market-trend/stock-market-today/dow-dones-futures-tesla-cybertruck-splunk-ross-stores-pure-storage-earnings-movers/\">Investors Business Daily\u003c/a> notes, \"Since its June 3 low, Tesla stock has doubled.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Others followed, such as Lamborghini's angular Countach and the Lotus Esprit, one of which was made into an amphibious vehicle for Roger Moore's James Bond — a car that \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/18/tesla-elon-musk-james-bond-lotus-submarine-car\">Musk bought in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The front of the Cybertruck angles up to a point just above the front-seat headrests, where it meets an even longer slope down to the rear — a continuous plane that includes both a transparent roof panel and the truck's rolltop bed cover, which retracts behind the back seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Don't think my mind has ever been blown like this before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla says the Cybertruck drives better than most sports cars and is more useful than a normal truck. From a standing start, the truck's maxed-out version can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, according to the company. And on paper at least, the pairing of electric motors — known for their high torque output — with a truck would seem to be a slam-dunk concept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But pickup trucks, like most automobiles, are also sold on image. And both Tesla and Musk have repeatedly played up the new electric truck's ruggedness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want a truck that's really tough? Not fake tough?\" Musk asked the crowd Thursday night. He also said Tesla will make the exterior of the Cybertruck from a stainless steel alloy developed by his companies. \"We're going to be using the same alloy in the Starship rocket,\" Musk said, referring to his SpaceX project. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is literally bulletproof to a 9 mm handgun, that's how strong the skin is,\" Musk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then things went off track with the \"Tesla armor glass\" strength test. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/m7atGkba-Z8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/m7atGkba-Z8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>A metal ball was dropped onto a sheet of what Musk described as \"regular car glass,\" leaving a long crack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To test a sheet of Tesla's glass, the metal ball was taken up to a height of around 10 feet and dropped again. The \"armor glass\" remained intact. But Musk didn't stop there — he turned the ball over to Tesla's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, who had previously whacked the truck's doors with a sledgehammer to show its durability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Franz, could you try to break this glass, please?\" Musk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You sure?\" von Holzhausen asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without much of a windup, von Holzhausen whirled the ball at Tesla's brand-new truck — leaving a nasty-looking spiderweb of splintered and dented glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well,\" Musk said afterward. \"Maybe that was a little too hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staring at the ruined window, one hand on his chin, Musk added, \"It didn't go through. That's the plus side.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then von Holzhausen asked if they should try the rear window. Musk agreed, and was soon standing in front of two pock-marked windows for the rest of the carefully stage-managed event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not bad,\" Musk summed up that portion of the night, adding, \"Room for improvement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cybertruck has six seats and a cargo bed (or \"vault,\" as Tesla calls it) that's 6 1/2 feet long. Its tailgate also hides a ramp, for rolling materials or vehicles into the bed. The truck is 231.7 inches (19.3 feet) long, nearly 80 inches wide and 75 inches tall. Tesla lists its maximum range at more than 500 miles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truck will be offered in a wide spectrum of driving range and weight capacity, depending on which motor is powering the vehicle. While the basic single-motor truck would have a range of around 250 miles and a tow rating of 7,500 pounds using rear-wheel drive, the three-motor all-wheel-drive version would double that range and be capable of towing 14,000 pounds, Tesla says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The starting price for the CyberTruck is $39,900. In the most high-powered version, it would cost $69,900. The company is taking preorders now, with a $100 deposit required to reserve a vehicle that Tesla says will hit the market in about two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

These days, some of them even update software “over the air,” like your phones do. But phones don’t weigh thousands of pounds or travel at potentially lethal speeds on the regular. By 2022, it’s estimated that two-thirds of all new cars will feature such connected systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, a cottage industry has sprung up to meet burgeoning demand for white hat hackers — game for a price — to help automakers identify vulnerabilities before black hats do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A very good defense is a good offense, right?” asked David Baker, chief security officer and VP of operations for \u003ca href=\"https://www.bugcrowd.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bugcrowd\u003c/a> in San Francisco. Like the name suggests, Bugcrowd helps curate auto industry crowdsource solutions from a relatively small number of hackers who know how to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Automakers cover the cost of Bugcrowd’s listing management as well as the rewards for identifying bugs. Payouts range from $5,000 for identifying a relatively minor bug to many multiples of that for something critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might give you some comfort to know Baker says car hacking is relatively complicated and expensive compared to other forms of hacking, because it involves access to and familiarity with car parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a little bit more of an attack surface than typically you would have just from electronic or wireless access. We have researchers that have the dashboard of a Tesla sitting in their living room,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11772286\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11772286 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Hackers at the Bugcrowd table in the Car Hack Village at DEFCON 2019.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-1920x2560.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-1122x1496.jpg 1122w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-840x1120.jpg 840w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-687x916.jpg 687w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-414x552.jpg 414w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS38898_Car-hacking-village-4-qut-354x472.jpg 354w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hackers at the Bugcrowd table in the Car Hack Village at DEFCON 2019. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Bugcrowd)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But it doesn’t take a paranoid person to imagine it’s just a matter of time before cheat sheets are available for sale on the dark web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference ahead of several major cybersecurity confabs this past summer, Jamie Court with the Los Angeles-based \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerwatchdog.org/privacy-technology/report-finds-hacking-internet-connected-cars-big-national-security-threat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Consumer Watchdog\u003c/a> warned, “Hackers tell us it’s just a matter of money.

Another House committee asked the Trump administration to turn over documents concerning the security clearances of the president’s closest advisers, including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Meanwhile, just days after a U.S.-North Korea summit in Vietnam abruptly ended, new evidence emerged showing North Korea is ramping up its missile program.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We hear from Bay Area Rep.

On Wednesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced his vision of a privacy-focused platform where smaller groups of people would use encrypted and private channels of communication to share messages and other content with other users they know. Last year, Zuckerberg testified before Congress in the wake of a massive data breach affecting millions of its users, highlighting the tension Facebook has with protecting privacy while pursuing profits through targeted ads.

Another House committee asked the Trump administration to turn over documents concerning the security clearances of the president’s closest advisers, including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Meanwhile, just days after a U.S.-North Korea summit in Vietnam abruptly ended, new evidence emerged showing North Korea is ramping up its missile program.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We hear from Bay Area Rep. Ro Khanna, a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Armed Services Committee, who is co-sponsoring a resolution to declare an end to the Korean War. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

On Wednesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced his vision of a privacy-focused platform where smaller groups of people would use encrypted and private channels of communication to share messages and other content with other users they know. Last year, Zuckerberg testified before Congress in the wake of a massive data breach affecting millions of its users, highlighting the tension Facebook has with protecting privacy while pursuing profits through targeted ads. Meanwhile, ride-service company Lyft recently filed the first round of documents with the SEC to go public ahead of its bigger rival, Uber, which is also expected to go public later this year. Other Bay Area startups expected to file IPOs soon include Airbnb, Slack and Pinterest. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mike Isaac, technology reporter, The New York Times\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Jeremy C.

"title": "Could Tesla Price Cuts Mean Demand Is Slowing?",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Tesla made about 9,300 more vehicles than it delivered last year, raising concerns among industry analysts that inventory is growing as demand for the company's electric cars may be starting to wane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If demand falls, they say, the company will enter a new phase of its business. Like other automakers, Tesla will have to either cut production or reduce prices to raise sales. A drop in demand could also curtail the company's earnings and jeopardize CEO Elon Musk's promise to post sustained quarterly profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Tesla did cut prices, knocking $2,000 off each of its three models. The company said the cuts will help customers deal with the loss of a $7,500 federal tax credit, which was reduced to $3,750 this month for Tesla buyers and will gradually go to zero by the end of 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have for a long time had more demand than supply,\" Gartner analyst Michael Ramsey said. \"It's becoming apparent that that dynamic is changing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla reported that it produced 254,530 cars and SUVs last year and delivered 245,240. Tesla shares had fallen by as much a 10 percent since markets opened Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's deliveries for the full year matched Wall Street estimates, but its figures for the fourth quarter didn't reach expectations. Tesla said it delivered 90,700 vehicles from October through December. Analysts polled by data provider FactSet expected 92,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at the forecasting firm LMC Automotive, said demand for Tesla's lower-priced Model 3 has been artificially high for the past six months as the company overcame production problems at its Fremont factory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've had these inflated months because of delayed deliveries,\" Schuster said. \"We're probably getting to that point where we're getting to equilibrium and consumers aren't necessarily waiting for vehicles.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Tesla reported that about 420,000 buyers had put down $1,000 deposits to join the Model 3 waiting list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LMC predicts that Tesla U.S. sales will rise in 2019 because it's the first full year on the market for the Model 3. It anticipates sales to then fall by about 10,000 in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Losing the tax credit will hit those who have been holding out for the $35,000 version of the Model 3, Schuster said. At present, Tesla is selling only versions that cost at least $44,000. Under federal law, buyers get the full tax credit until a manufacturer reaches 200,000 in sales since the start of 2010. Tesla hit 200,000 in July, but the full credit continued for vehicles delivered by Dec. 31. It was cut in half on Jan. 1 and will go away by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've had your early adopters. Those early followers have already come in\" to buy, Schuster said. \"Now you're trying to appeal to the mainstream market. I think that will have an impact on overall demand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, inventory appears to be rising. The company parked hundreds of cars at lots and Tesla stores all over the country at the end of last year, which could indicate excess stock. Tesla wouldn't give inventory numbers but said it has lower stocks than its two biggest competitors, BMW and Mercedes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press found one lot on the north side of Chicago where Tesla was storing dozens of vehicles in late December, and Mark Spiegel, a hedge fund manager who bets against Tesla stock, said other lots were full across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla said it sometimes stores vehicles on lots as they're being shipped to company dealerships across the nation. The lot in Chicago has fewer cars on it now, the company said. \"Our inventory levels remain the smallest in the automotive industry,\" the company said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla also says Model 3 sales should grow worldwide as it expands distribution and begins to offer leases.

Like other automakers, Tesla will have to either cut production or reduce prices to raise sales. A drop in demand could also curtail the company's earnings and jeopardize CEO Elon Musk's promise to post sustained quarterly profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Tesla did cut prices, knocking $2,000 off each of its three models. The company said the cuts will help customers deal with the loss of a $7,500 federal tax credit, which was reduced to $3,750 this month for Tesla buyers and will gradually go to zero by the end of 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have for a long time had more demand than supply,\" Gartner analyst Michael Ramsey said. \"It's becoming apparent that that dynamic is changing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla reported that it produced 254,530 cars and SUVs last year and delivered 245,240.

Tesla said it delivered 90,700 vehicles from October through December. Analysts polled by data provider FactSet expected 92,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at the forecasting firm LMC Automotive, said demand for Tesla's lower-priced Model 3 has been artificially high for the past six months as the company overcame production problems at its Fremont factory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've had these inflated months because of delayed deliveries,\" Schuster said. \"We're probably getting to that point where we're getting to equilibrium and consumers aren't necessarily waiting for vehicles.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Tesla reported that about 420,000 buyers had put down $1,000 deposits to join the Model 3 waiting list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LMC predicts that Tesla U.S. sales will rise in 2019 because it's the first full year on the market for the Model 3. It anticipates sales to then fall by about 10,000 in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Losing the tax credit will hit those who have been holding out for the $35,000 version of the Model 3, Schuster said. At present, Tesla is selling only versions that cost at least $44,000. Under federal law, buyers get the full tax credit until a manufacturer reaches 200,000 in sales since the start of 2010. Tesla hit 200,000 in July, but the full credit continued for vehicles delivered by Dec. 31. It was cut in half on Jan. 1 and will go away by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've had your early adopters. Those early followers have already come in\" to buy, Schuster said. \"Now you're trying to appeal to the mainstream market. I think that will have an impact on overall demand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, inventory appears to be rising. The company parked hundreds of cars at lots and Tesla stores all over the country at the end of last year, which could indicate excess stock. Tesla wouldn't give inventory numbers but said it has lower stocks than its two biggest competitors, BMW and Mercedes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press found one lot on the north side of Chicago where Tesla was storing dozens of vehicles in late December, and Mark Spiegel, a hedge fund manager who bets against Tesla stock, said other lots were full across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla said it sometimes stores vehicles on lots as they're being shipped to company dealerships across the nation. The lot in Chicago has fewer cars on it now, the company said. \"Our inventory levels remain the smallest in the automotive industry,\" the company said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla also says Model 3 sales should grow worldwide as it expands distribution and begins to offer leases. Deliveries in Europe and China will start in February, and a right-hand-drive version is coming later in the year, the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, inventory dropped in the fourth quarter as Tesla \"delivered a few thousand vehicles more than produced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla said it had about 3,000 vehicles in transit to customers at year's end.
