S 75D and X 75D dropped from Tesla lineup, Model 3 "competition"?

They'll do what gets them the most electrification the fastest, and that's making the cars they are going to sell the most of be the best damn cars they can possibly be [without going out of business]. Product differentiation seems like a distraction unless it's directly accomplishing that goal, and I think it's something legacy automakers are more likely to worry about. And if Tesla does use [lazy] product differentiation to withhold features that they could feasibly put in lower-priced cars, they're only hurting their own core mission.

The 100K segment is an important part of Tesla's history, but I wonder how much of a priority for their future. Certainly well-heeled buyers add desirability to the brand overall but as a large proportion of electrification? Not so much.

Agreed - That’s why I didn’t have an qualms about sacrificing on size to pick up new tech. I don’t see Tesla withholding the good tech/other advancements for higher end priced models.
