SINGAPORE - Tesla has cut prices of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in Singapore by between 4.3 per cent and 5 per cent, its website showed on Friday.

It cut prices on the rear-wheel drive version of both Model 3 and Model Y by $4,000, and the dual motor all-wheel drive version of the two models by $5,000, the website showed.
