ok numbers? Are you serious?
They sold 4700 Model S cars, Mercedes sold over 1000 less S Class, BMW sold close to 2,000 less 7 series, and Audi sold oodles less A8's.
The Tesla model S was rated the best car ever by one of the biggest car magazines on earth and it outsold every other major 4 door luxury car on the planet. To say OK numbers is an understatement.
They're hoping to launch a cheaper model in the near future as well but yes it was $55 like 2 months ago and I passed a few days before earnings bc I felt the valuation was too high....stupid me

I completely understand where you are coming from. But I think some of that might be hype. I'm rooting for Tesla and like I said, $80 seems more realistic for how far they've come. Here is a story that I read that made more sense to me:

quote:
Tesla’s pricing is at the low end of what the other high-end luxury cars sell for. The Tesla Model S lists at $62,400 or $72,400 with the 60 kWh and 85 kWh battery packs; the Model S Performance lists at $87,400 with an 85 kWh battery. The cheapest Mercedes-Benz S-Class starts at $92,400. Luxury car automakers have more years experience offering options that can increase the as-sold price by more than 50%. Options carry a higher profit margin than the base car. The Tesla vs. Old Guard comparison reported by CNN and others omitted the Lexus LS, which is closer to the Model S on price, $71,990. (Also there are Jaguar, Maserati, Porsche, and Cadillac luxury sedans, most with higher entry prices.) More importantly, the other top five automakers have mid-size sedans close to the Model S on list price and they’re not included. When they’re hot, they sell 4,000-5,000 units a month. If that’s the comparison, the story isn’t quite as sexy:
