Oh good grief, I just found this thread. It's like clockwork -- the stock moves up significantly and the perma-bears come back out to spread FUD by linking to other FUD. (...)
Please don't feed the bears / trolls people. They have absolutely no idea how much the Model 3 will cost other than the officially-stated Tesla Motors price of $35k before incentives, no matter how many articles they link to. It's spreading FUD, nothing more.
What about another Model X delay I predicted for quite some time? Also FUD? I guess not, Tesla just confirmed it a few days ago. We will see if Model X will not slip again into Q4 2015 or later (and if Q3 2015 will just be about a few first Signature deliveries).
In case you didn't read all my posts in this thread in detail, my main point was not about Model 3 pricing (I think Anderman's estimates are too high), but rather missed deadlines:
I think Tesla will not be able to ship the Model 3 in volume before 2018 (or even later) given their history of delays.
That can have as big as if not even a bigger impact on car sales and the competitive landscape for Tesla (and TSLA, the stock) in the mass-market EV and PHEV/range-extender segment in my opinion.
In case you believe Tesla has no issues meeting the originally announced Model 3 deadlines (2016-2017*), please post your estimates.
* I'm just using the recently announced dates. The Model 3 car was once even supposed to ship by 2015:
