After checking out a Model 3 last weekend, I feel it'll easily get cheaper to produce rather quickly. Why? Because there's just not much there. It's so damn simple. Much simpler than any car I've ever sat in. Sure there are alot of electronics in there, but that's what you want because electronics most readily follow economies of scale. I mean, it's mostly robots turning sand into PCBs, compared to ICE workers turning iron into drivetrains.
I'm also seeing more common folk making YouTube videos on the Model 3, spreading the word rather quickly. I'm talking 30-ish year old working class with friends who had no idea this stuff existed. And their friends are walking away from test rides grinning from ear to ear saying " I gotta get one of these!"
I have never been more sure that we are on the verge of Model 3 orders going exponential, not due to tree-hugging, but due to it being fun, fast, and affordable high-tech-on-wheels.
