I know a few people who bought Bolts, they are all well off people who could certainly afford much more expensive cars but they are the type to be frugal. Making an economy end EV really doesn't seem like it has much of an audience if the affordability falls in the range of apartment dwellers with no place to charge it.
So what's the target? Homeowners with budgets that are make or break on a few hundred every month? Homeowners who hate Elon? Homeowners with jobless loser grown kids still living at home but wanting new car? |

He once had a threesome set up, but ran out of room, so cut it back to a onesome. I may be buying one soon, or not. |

not a surprise.. Tesla is eating all the other EV makers lunch. GM had to drop prices to a point where they lose money on every single EV and still don't sell many of them.
Yes, the volume of sales is increasing but they are losing money on them. Tesla is killing the competition as they can sell cheap and still make a profit. |

They make PLENTY of profits. They cry "poor" so they can collect government money. Probably pays their bonuses.

Again, they are making a profit, just not as high as it used to be. Wait for interest rates to drop, you will see prices go back up and profits rising. High interest rates are hard on the economy, especially for businesses whose products are usually purchased using credit.

That plus a lack of manufacturing efficiency. Tesla invested heavily in things like robots and the Gigapress, which lowers their production costs tremendously. |
