Yeah, anyone who understands how manufacturing and supply chain costs work would've said the same thing.
If they got anywhere near the # of preorders as they said they did, that alone would be worth increasing the base price. If that many people are willing to preorder something sight unseen based on price and specs, you've vastly underpriced your product.Yeah, anyone who understands how manufacturing and supply chain costs work would've said the same thing.
But, let's say that they can get even close to the cost structure they wanted to drive. I guarantee they would sell it for a higher price due to the fact that profits in the truck sector are ther eto be made. The market for seemingly visually impaired people who want trucks is apparently massive.
Exactly. They can’t realistically fulfill anywhere near the number of preorders on the books in a reasonable amount of time. They can thin the ranks and rake in the profits.If they got anywhere near the # of preorders as they said they did, that alone would be worth increasing the base price.

I don't know that anyone is gloating. The actual CT costing more and performing worse would just be run of the mill Elon. Don't believe me? I'll give you $35,000 and you go buy yourself a new model 3.1- Supply chain and 2- battery tech not ready for prime because…see 1-…
…not something to gloat about IMO
Where did the specs and price go? Trims?
This has always confused me. They're going to make CT for the less than the model 3 LR? Riiiiight.My guess is RWD goes away, and only dual motor or quad motor (hub motors?) are the only options. Also, price goes way up. Think Model Y + $10-15k for base dual motor.
