Don't hate on me if you have been holding out for a X70D reservation, i know the thread title is a little provocative. The idea was floated by a few people in the Configuration thread wondering if it would make it above 200miles of range and if it is worth releasing at all if it doesn't?
This got me thinking though. If your factory is booked with orders through the next 3 quarters, why introduce a cheaper model right now? It would be logical to max out revenue/profits by only offering the top model if it still fills the factory floor for the next, say, 6 months, wouldn't it? Then when/if sales start to slow down, introduce a cheaper model to boost interest.
What do you think?
PS: I know it's only sigs now, so an X70D may very well be on the cards when "normal" folk start to configure. This is just a thought experiment...
