igotzzoom - I considered some "blowback" .... but decided against it, because I can understand your POV.
As I mentioned a few post back, I do not want to make a "passionate" purchase ..... and I am in no rush. OTOH, I appreciate what Falcon Wings posted. Amid all the post about a sunken hood and a rough ride. It's reassuring to read something positive.
Regarding the $35K "promise" ... Tesla should make a model available at that cost, or stop alluding to that possibility. I'd wager that most buyers would add the extra's and shy away from a base, black, no frill's vehicle.
It is deceptive that Tesla speaks about a $35K car, but adds additional charges that must be paid even if one was available.
Personally ... I am continuing to watch and wait. I have never seen a M3 in person, but pictures look fantastic; the prospects of a federal tax credit were never something I counted on; I just hope the assembly glitches can all be resolved quickly, production can increase, and Tesla will expand the option list (short range battery, a beige or tan interior to name two).
I have driven a hybrid for 8 years now ... and I am ready to advance to the EV. But I am not so desperate that I would even consider a Bolt or a Hyundai EV.
