P.S. — No mention on even more affordable model S which will have considerably smaller battery and slightly less powerful motor. Initial press release said it had a 52 kWh battery and 206 miles of range. That should reduce MSRP by thousands compared to S+.
Buried the lede on bigger issue? 😀
We've all known EVs have high issuance premiums due to higher MSRP and higher repair costs, but the cost for model Y and especially Model 3 seem way out of line compared to Cybertruck. If correct, and I’m not sure it is, Model 3 owners must be horrible drivers as a group.
People don't take $300k supercars out when the sun isn't shining.
Nor will they take them offroad.
I was excited about this until I saw the $300k price tag.
That's interesting, because having the sex appeal and driving dynamics of a supercar, but having it be something that can handle rough terrain, all sorts of weather, I can definitely see the appeal behind that.
