I have a personal theory that they are lowering the cost of the cars because they are worried the company might be insolvent and are trying to liquidate as much inventory as quickly as possible. This might not be true, but I have to believe that they took out a bunch of money leveraged against where their stock price was at and with the drop in stock price it must have some degree of effect on their ability to get loans, because they are still not generating enough profit to fund their losses from the last five years.
It's hard to tell if they're liquidating inventory or reflecting the change in supply. Teslas only have a premium if there aren't other electric options and all the other manufacturers are coming out with them now. They have to be competitive with Honda and the build quality on Honda's cheapest models is vastly superior to a Tesla.
Ngl, been wondering if they pushed the full self driving stuff out there to make themselves too dangerous to fail. Can't have a bunch of unsupported death bots on the road.

for that to make sense their support would have to make things safer
In a sane world, sure.
I see your point about the world being insane but surely you can't go around extorting protection money without offering protection
That's what lobbyists are for, friend!
