no, you’re right
I suppose what I meant is if they offered a $100K version and that’s all they offered, Gus is right they won’t sell 250K a year. But if they offer a $100K version first, it doesn’t mean they can’t later roll out a $50K version in large numbers - in which case they might sell 250K
And they do have a history of offering first eg a $130k+ version and then later began to deliver in earnest down-range versions in the $70K range. That’s a big spread.
So there’s precedent for the notion of offering a eg $100K CT version then later a 50% cheaper version.
That said, no, I don’t know that there’s any precedent for later offering a 50% cheaper version, and then actually producing the cheap version in large quantities.
the possible reasons for that cut both ways. You could say “there’s just no market for an $85K Model X,” or “Tesla doesn’t intend to sell many Model X’s at $85K”
Which is why, at the end of the day I don’t have any position on what the CT rollout of pricing and models will be - in part because Tesla has a history of pulling the many different levers at their disposal.
Doesn’t tell us anything if they offer a $100K and a $50K model, if Tesla doesn’t plan to often press “print” one end of the range.
