Their pricing was a projection. Obviously it was wrong. I never said 50% increase. I think they will offer a dual motor 300 mi between $65k-70k. They will probably offer a dual motor long range option between $80k-$85k. My guess is the quad motor long range will be around $100k. The dual motor model x with much less range is $120k. I am definitely not getting into an engineering debate here, but its just not logical to think that a quad motor 500 mi. stainless steel cybertruck is going to stay anywhere near $69k.I said “their margins will be fine with rational inflation adjustments”.
What I’m suggesting is people are going way beyond rational inflation adjustments. We haven’t seen 50% inflation, yet here we’re talking about 50% price increases on the Cybertruck. That is not rational inflation adjustment, that’s fear driven hyperbole.
The Cybertruck was the better value at launch, it was the better value when Ford launched the F150. If Tesla increases prices on par with what competitors have, it will remain the better value. Tesla has massive pricing advantage on their batteries. They also have a significantly more efficient design which will reduce the battery size for the same range.
This ultimately boils down to the idea that you think Tesla priced the Cybertruck poorly to begin with.
