42K is already like the official approx base price and we also have like 7.5K tax refund till we hit 200K delivered milestone. But it should not be beyond like 45-50K, else things might be perceived different in the court of public opinion ...That is such a strange thing to hope for. The M3 *cannot* fail on price point. If it comes out in July and they say whoopsie daisy the base model is $40k, who the hell cares? It trims the potential market from 1B people to 900M people. Sure, individual consumers will be irritated but financially it means nothing.
