etalian posted:$35k is in the budget range for petty bourgeois that's before the 7500 federal tax credit though plus whatever state credit if you don't live in a stupid place like in california it's an extra 2500 on top of the federal credit so a base level model 3 will be about as expensive as a honda accord, assuming you're one of the first 200k people to buy one

literally a fish posted:there will no doubt be models with bigger packs that get more miles (i suspect up to around 400-500 miles on the high end) probably closer to 250, maybe 300

Orange Cat posted:Friend dropped 100k on one and let me drive it. Seemed neat and has some good conceptual stuff going for it. Had enough torque to be impressive, but not enough to want to spend three times as much as an Evo or STI. The ride height adjust was cool. It's an Apple early adopter car. It will probably help shape future generations of cars, ... But 100k ... that's basically their business plan sell expensive sports cars to rich fucks, use that to fund building expensive suvs to sell to not quite as rich fucks, use that to fund building a mid-range car to sell to upper middle class fucks

Orange Cat posted:My friend works a fairly poo poo low end job. He saved for like 2 years to buy one, with financing. So they are hitting more than just dumb rich idiots. He lives in a hovel and eats Mac and Cheese regularly. But he's got a 100k car. Shrug. dude's hood rich as gently caress good on him for being able to save up like that on a crappy job. sucks he doesn't use his fiscal discipline to like save for retirement

crabcakes66 posted:I don't think you need to be 'upper middle class' to afford a $35,000 car. Which is only slightly above average for a new vehicle in the US. And could be well below average depending on what kind of incentives there are where you live. that's just the base model the ones with extra battery capacity, super acceleration, etc i.e. the stuff people actually want are gonna run closer to 50-60k it's meant to compete with the bmw 3 series
