Tesla Model S • Elon Musk • Electric vehicles

(Reuters) - Tesla Inc TSLA.O will further cut the price of its Model S "Long Range" sedan in the United States to $69,420, the electric carmaker's chief executive, Elon Musk, announced in a tweet bit.ly/2H0JCP0 on Wednesday.

The anticipated drop marks the second time this week Tesla has cut the price for the high-end sedan, following a 4% cut of the Model S’s price in the United States on Tuesday to $71,990.

Tesla shares closed 3.3% higher at $461.30 on Wednesday and were little changed after hours.

The company also on Tuesday reduced by 3% the price of its Model S in China, where it had previously cut the starting price of its Model 3 sedan.

“The gauntlet has been thrown down! The prophecy will be fulfilled. Model S price changes to $69,420 tonight!” Musk tweeted.

Tesla’s Model S was introduced in 2012, but in recent years the car has faced competition from the company’s less expensive, mass-market Model 3 sedan, launched in 2017, which currently starts at $37,990. The Model S makes up only around 5% of Tesla’s unit volume, according to a Credit Suisse analyst note on Wednesday.

The analyst said Model S price reduction was likely in response to price cuts by electric vehicle startup Lucid Motors, which sells its luxury-sedan Air model at a starting price of $69,900. That includes a $7,500 U.S. government electric vehicle tax credit, which Tesla vehicles are no longer entitled to.

The price cuts also come as competition in the electric vehicle market - long dominated by Tesla - heats up, with several carmakers launching new electric vehicles next year.

Germany's Daimler AG DAIGn.DE is scheduled to release an electric version of its Mercedes-Benz S-class luxury sedan, the EQS, next year. The EQS is expected to be significantly more expensive than the Model S, however, with the latest version of the gasoline-powered S-class retailing at more than 100,000 euros ($117,500).

The Voice • Blake Shelton • Gwen Stefani • Kelly Clarkson • Nbc

'The Voice': Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Face Off Over a Singer in Season 19 Premiere Blake Shelton   and   Gwen Stefani   are happy to be back together on the new season of  The Voice   -- but they're not pulling any punches with each other! The couple wasted no time on Monday's season 19 premiere before they were facing off over a singer. Payge Turner, a 27-year-old crooner from Trinidad and Tobago, got an early chair turn from Blake as she covered The Weeknd's "Call Out My Name," but then Gwen hit her button just before the end of the song. "Why are you doing this to me?!" Blake exclaimed, as John Legend warned the hopeful singer, "You're about to break up America's couple!" Blake did his best to make a case for his team -- pointing out the fact that he turned much earlier than his ladylove -- but ultimately, Payge went for the glitz, girl power and cross-genre experience that Team Gwen had to offer. "I'm always l...
