autobloggreen: Can the Model S be profitable at $57,400?

[johnr]

I actually make less than $100k - but even so I can still afford the Model S. It's just a matter of carefully managing my expenses, and saving up for the big day...

So many factors - prices of real estate / rent in your area, family expenses, etc.

Mods, perhaps the last 6 posts belong in their own thread? "Is the Model S affordable?"

ACP won't sell you only one any more, they don't want to deal with the general public. There are some other options for AC motors, some guys over at DIY are trying some AC, (BLDC), motors from China, and I'm using the low voltage, (108volt), AC31 from HPG, who are looking for higher voltage controllers for their motors.

I just realized you are the same JRP3 that has been discussing Thundersky and Sky Energy batteries with me over on DIY. Small world.

Indeed, the EV world is small, but growing :biggrin: Besides, how many JRP3s with electric 6 wheelers can there be in the world? :wink:

I wasn't really thinking about it until I saw your user name here and you mentioned DIY. Then it was a smack into my forehead.
