The last time Tesla hiked the price of Model S variants was in July.
特斯拉上一次提高Model S系列的價格是在七月。
Why It Matters: Until the start of Cybertruck deliveries in late November last year, the Model S and Model X were Tesla's only premium offerings.
重要性：在去年11月底Cybertruck交付開始之前，Model S和Model X是特斯拉唯一的高端產品。
According to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book, Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter in the U.S., trumping EV trucks from rivals including the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T, to become the third-best-selling EV behind Model Y and Model 3.
根據汽車研究公司Kelley Blue Book的數據，特斯拉在美國第三季度售出了16,692輛Cybertruck，超過了競爭對手的電動卡車，包括福特F-150 Lightning和Rivian R1萬億，成爲Model Y和Model 3之後的第三暢銷電動車。
However, the surge in sales of the Cybertruck negatively impacted the Model S and X. According to KBB estimates, Model S sales in the U.S. fell by about 47% year-on-year in the U.S. in the last quarter while Model X sales slipped by 29%.
然而，Cybertruck銷售的激增對Model S和X產生了負面影響。根據KBb的估計，Model S在美國的銷量在上個季度同比下降了約47%，而Model X的銷量下降了29%。
