Time will tell.
They lose money at $36k ,, most will sell in the 50’s ... and gov’t incentives are ending.
There's a Tesla "dealership" a couple of miles from me and I must admit that I'm tempted to take a test drive.
I'd certainly never buy one for many reasons...recharging time and range being two of the most important.I'll stick to my diesel...53mpg (highway),they climb 14,000 foot mountains effortlessly (Mount Evans,Colorado),can be refilled in about 4 minutes...
AAH #417 Tesla Model 3: Inside & Out

Moocher Musk rakes it in. He is the premiere looter of the 21st Century.
Lots of fancy electrical/electronic stuff. Lacking in the mechanical engineering department. Doesn’t surprise me.
Hey, on another note, today I saw a late 1940’s/early 1950’s Cadillac driving down the road.
Sounds like buyers are overpaying for a good battery surrounded by a low quality enclosure.
I have a report on cyber-security related aspects of the vehicle.
It is not good.
My 1971 International Harvester (daily driver) puts that POS government subsidized waste of materials to shame. My 1210 model truck is so over built and its logical design allows it to be 48 years old and still making money . My cost per mile is a pittance compared to the abominations Tesla throws out on to the market . Elon Musk obviously never heard of the “keep it simple stupid” ...as far as transportation is concerned .
> I dont see how they could make money at $36,000.
Well, that’s EASY to fix: Have govt ‘subsidize’ through the taxpayers’ wallets.
I mean, it’s not like THEY know anything better to do w/ their $$$
