特斯拉“扇动翅膀”，整个行业掀起降价风暴（讲解版）|E0314

▍原文

A price war started by Elon Musk's Tesla has spread beyond electric cars to gasoline-fueled vehicles as the likes of Citroen, Mercedes-Benz and Chevrolet seek to protect market share.  

Government subsidies in Hubei province in central China, together with discounts from state-backed Dongfeng Motor Group, have slashed the prices of some cars such as the Citroen C6 by more than 40 percent, with incentives of up to 90,000 yuan on offer.
