Tesla Inc. is now charging less for the cheapest version of the Model Y crossover than what the typical new vehicle sells for in the U.S., a threshold Elon Musk crossed in blazing fashion.

The new Lexus ES 300h gets a 2.5-litre petrol engine that develops 175 bhp and 221 Nm of torque. It is paired with an electric motor that churns out 118 bhp and 202 Nm of torque. The combined output of this powertrain is rated at 214 bhp and it comes mated to an e-CVT.
