Tesla paid their loan off 9 years early

And they make a cheaper version for around 70k, 108k is not anywhere near the base model. Obviously out of the price range of most Americans at this point, but for someone looking at a 50-60k BMW or Mercedes, it would be reasonable.

Their plan is to have a model around the 40k price point within the next couple years. I think that is when we'll know whether or not electric cars can gain any serious chunk of market share.

To be clear, they paid it off with Debt and Equity. So that is kind of misleading. Yeah, the government got its money back. But, it isn't a sign of an amazing business model.
