Then let us do the math.
Industrial electricity rates are right under 7 cents per kwh, we will use that. With use of carbon fiber, aero wheels, removing of mirrors you could get the car down to about 250wh per mile. Or about 1.75 cents per mile.
Let us say the car costs 30k. If you don’t worry about things like…

Here fixed it for you:
How huge are we talking about?
Maybe Windows is not what you are looking for but this instead? Which has to be on every car:
20 miles is really lacking. The average person drivers 37 miles per day. So ideally it has to be 35 - 40 miles, but preferably at least 50 miles to be useful.
As long as the most important functions are on the wheel, then having a large lcd screen in the car handle most of the settings is a good idea. A large screen makes it simple to go through settings and configure w\e a person wants without needing to read through a lengthy manual on what each button does.
For the…
And the 70D accelerates at 5.2 seconds. Tesla is most likely to offer a range of performance options which I see going at least down to 4 seconds. And I doubt there is going to be more faster options by the time the Model 3 comes out.
o-60 is a good measure of every day performance. As far as going around the track, we…
The Tesla Model 3 will most definitely win in 0-60. As far as around the track we will have to see as the Model 3 will have next generation batteries and next generation motor.
In terms of power it will be less than the Model S, maybe but it will still have a Ludicirous mode and most definitely beat 5.9 seconds.
Performance, electrical range and etc.
Was the braking system “Eddy current braking”?
This thing sounds like an Audi A3 e-tron competitor. But with slightly less electric range, higher performance and higher price.
I am not saying that it has no consequences. What ends up happening when we print money is this. We are the currency of the world, so when money is printed inflation happens. Which has little impact on us since everything translates to dollars. But it causes inflation on other currencies that are dependent on the…
I am guessing you are talking about the 7.5k tax credits that go to the consumer now? and not the ZEV credits?
Sorry, but that is nonsense. At least in our economy it is. The US has taken maximum debt every single year. So end of the day it made 0 difference from a tax perspective. The government also has the option of…
The thing that sets Muscle cars of the past with today’s cars like a Tesla is that Tesla is not just going for performance. But maximum safety via both active and passive. That will insure that insurance rates stay low.
I bet you base price will not go up once launched.
No you do not pay for them in taxes.
There is no indicator of the prices going up post credits. It seemed to have remained the same. Which just means they just pay it out of their profit margin. Mostly because the amounts are insignificant sums.
Ford did get a 5.9 billion ATVM loan and 15.9 billion from the federal…
Again, S3XY is not the name of a car! IT is just a spelling out of multiple cars. The names of the cars is things like Model S. Which is an easy name to remember. Those who don’t know cars just call it the Tesla S.
When you start naming things like Tesla Omega, nobody is going to remember that.
It has nothing to do with respect. It is just a cultural reference.
And if you don’t know the difference between s3x and s3xy, you probably need to go back to middle school : /
No you are not forced to help to buy them and don’t pay a penny for them.
And so you know, ZEV credits are not the same thing as carbon credits. ZEV credits govern local pollution like NOx, O3, CO and etc. And even then the companies are not forced to buy ZEV credits from Tesla, they just sell it at the cheapest rate,…
