Still to expensive.
35K is still a “luxury” car.
I want gas, and pistons, and cams, and horsepower.
Many libs will trade their Priuses in for Teslas?
To be honest $35k is still too expensive. Model S is marketed as $70k, but its really $100k to get a good version. So I suspect it will cost $50k to get a good version. 3 years is very optimistic. I suspect 5-10 years before we see affordable tesla cars
Elon Musk just came out in support of destroying the Patent system. Said garage tinkerers, etc, with new ideas should just take them to a big company, seeking employment in return.
Now, the guy did walk the talk by releasing all of Tesla’s patents. But at this stage of the game he can afford to, right?
Will you just look at that S car go!
Might be a great car, I dunno. But my observations definitely aren't positive.
Fire extinguisher sales will skyrocket?
Plenty of room for you, your passenger, and storage for 2 sets of golf clubs.
Our town car is a $12,000 Toyota Yaris.
Until the Tesla’s can be recharged in roughly the same amount of time as a gasoline fill-up they will always be a luxury because they are not suitable to be a person’s only transportation. You always have to have another gasoline car in case you don’t have time to charge up the EV.

Depends on the styling... The Model S is a gorgeous car. If the Model 3 looks like a Leaf it won’t be a blockbuster. TSLA, Musk, Space X are all good at design so I’m expecting it to be a good looking vehicle.
The British top gear guys say electric powered cars is a dead technology...........that’s good enough for me.
The neat feature of electric car batteries is they have a limited number of recharge cycles they can stand, built in drop dead date. But, if you do not use it (park it and do not use it for a while) it dies even more quickly.
Battling this “feature” right now with a relative’s car. She was going to save so much money not having to buy gasoline,...LOL!
Gotta let the market work it’s magic. When a good cheap efficient electric car is built people will buy it. But for now I’ll take an F-type Jag please.
It means the upper middle class will also be able to afford a car that catches in fire.
Hillbillies do better engineering for free. ;-)
