That's a strong possibility. As an economist, that's my take as well. . . but on the other hand, we cannot make that judgement too quickly. What we have here is the eagerness of the first adopters. Can the product sustain such higher than world market prices of $10k - $17k? The $20k price being paid are those prices plus Chinese government value added levies for products sold in China. Imagine the arbitrage that will be going on when $10K plus sales tax can get you $20K in China merely for sneaking one across China's border.
Yeah, that was said somewhat tongue in cheek, given the $20k price tag. (and the OMG coming from some folks at the price tag itself)
I don' t think I'm in danger of being in their target audience for those models.
Personally, I'm amazed there is a market for those models at all. Not surprised, just amazed.
