Well, remember that price points are loosely tied to cost and more about what the market will bear--I doubt the Plaid+ costs $30K more than than the Plaid. The Plaid also has tri-motor setup and I think the new cell technology should have lower costs than the current cells. I would also guess the CT is simpler and easier to build with simpler body panels, no paint, simpler interior than the Model S. $70K might be tough (like the $35K Model 3) but it does not seem totally unreasonable.I don't understand how they are going to deliver the CT for the price they promised. $70k for trimotor with 500 miles range...they equivalent model S is $150k!! Ill be thrilled if they do (and I have an order in!) I just don't understand how it will be possible in just 9 months
