Tesla Inc. has lowered its electric car prices by as much as 6 percent in North America after a downturn in the region's vehicle demand during weeks of lockout, which authorities have now begun to loosen.

Auto retail revenues in the United States possibly halved last month compared to a year ago, based on J.D. Power figures.

Tesla's Model S Long Range Plus electric vehicle now sells from $79,990 to $74,990, while the Performance model is now listed at $94,990.

The Model 3 was given a $2,000 discount, cutting its price down from $39,990 to $37,990.

A Weibo post from the carmaker's official account has confirmed the company will also cut prices of the Model S and X versions sold in China by around 4 percent. However, the Chinese market price of the Tesla Model 3, which China manufactures locally in the country, will not be trimmed down as part of the new adjusted rates.
