Looks like it...the Tesla “Model E” is coming after the “Gigafactory” is online, starting at about $32K?

I’ve read varying price estimates, but yes, you’re correct.

It will be interesting to see if it works.(business plan)

Why do you immediately start playing the class warfare card, comparing the price of a luxury car to a house? Do you complain about Ferrari? Why do you question a manufacturer’s decision to expand domestic production capacity to meet demand by saying their product costs too much?

It’s a business decision. Let Elon Musk invest his money how he chooses and
suffer the consequences up or down.

And I question you. So it’s a big happy circle of questioning.

They make a good car. Picks up fast, good performance & prices are not nearly as bad as you’d think for what you get.

Why do you immediately start calling people anti-capitalist the minute they question the need for mega factory to produce batteries for cars only rich liberals will buy?


What makes you think only rich liberals will buy these cars?

There are many other cars that cost as much or more and other people besides liberals buy those.

Thank you. I live in NM, which is in the running and I know that our state could definitely use the jobs and the money that the factory will bring.

Its a good car. I would buy it if I had the money. I will wait for the $50k car version in 3-4+ years
