Of course it has to be priced the same as a gasoline or diesel vehicle. I'm not paying double the amount for half the utility.
The $60k could get a BMW M240 or Audi S3 and $10-15k worth of gas. That’s your range range right there!
The new sports coupe will supposedly be able to do more than 600 miles range and have speed and acceleration in the ludicrous level. Who knows what it will cost but we are talking rarified exotic level for sure. It wont be available til next year or later but that level of range exceeds the vast majority of gas cars. Right now Tesla is still a niche player but one can see down the road following trend lines that it has the possibility to become a major player. Back in the nineties Apple was close to death business wise. Things can change dramatically. Tesla has a lot of warts right now but it is dumb to think as time goes on the cars they make wont improve.
