  • Tesla has slashed the prices of all its vehicles: the Model 3, Model S and Model X.
  • The Model 3 will now start at $35,000, the company said in a blog post on Thursday.
  • The Model S and X also got price cuts.

All of Tesla's three models got a price cut on Thursday.

The announcement of new discounts came amid the guidance that Tesla may not be profitable in the first quarter, as well as shifting to online-only sales and closing most of its 378 retail stores.

"Shifting all sales online, combined with other ongoing cost efficiencies, will enable us to lower all vehicle prices by about 6% on average, allowing us to achieve the $35,000 Model 3 price point earlier than we expected," the company said in a blog post.
