OG 2011 Leaf / 2023 Model Y LR
Well that's the whole point of the 3 isn't it? The range of an S at the price of a 3.Expecting a 60 kWh Model 3 at $35k strikes me as more of the mini-Model S at half price discussion I thought we had dispensed with.
The base will be a 60... That's the whole point of the GigaFactory... To bring down battery costs. The price difference from 60 to a 55 is practically nothing so I'm not sure your argument makes sense in that regard.
One should not expect all the bells and whistles and speed and features of the S on a 3 but yes a car with a decent amount of range is what we're getting as that was the entire point of the model 3.
