Too Afraid to Ask

Here, “flat” means prices didn’t really move much compared to last year. It’s basically “about the same.”

Technical Definition

In this context, “flat” means the Tesla EV price change is essentially unchanged year over year (about 0.1%). It’s a shorthand for “no meaningful movement” rather than a literal zero.
