And yet Elon disagrees with you. He has been quite explicit that Tesla will attempt to make their cars more and more affordable. I expect that means that they will continue to push the price down until cars are free. In the best of all possible worlds a car will cost a subscription price only, and that will be tailored to be affordable to everybody.
So why do you keep making up these theories which are utterly at odds with what Elon has actually said? It's making you look pretty foolish.
There is a bit of a grey area here, because the implied purpose of lowering prices is to satisfy the mission, generating sufficient cash to reinvest strategically also benefits the mission, as well Elon eventually wants to settle Mars.
There is no conflict between lowering prices, making money, and satisfying the mission, IMO there is a lot of synergy.
I can see Tesla eventually walking the price of a base Model 3/Y down to around 30K.
Eventually walking a 25K Model 2 down to 20K.
Then making a 15K Model 1 with FSD.
In terms of the mission and affordable mobility for all FSD is essential, making a 15K car with FSD will be a challenge.
One way to do that is insist that all new purchases lease FSD for 3 years, that increases the TCO if the car is not used as a Robotaxi.
Assuming Tesla can achieve al this, I don't see why they need to go further, others can satisfy the sub 15K market.
Robotaxis are a subscription service available to everybody, that is an important part of the mission, and making cars more affordable.
A 15K Robotaxi with a 20 year usable life charged will solar power should be cheap to hire, with or without a driver.
My take on developing countries is a Robotaxi has a driver for as long as is necessary.. I still call it a Robtaxi as that is the eventual aim..
All we really know is Elon currently wants to make cars more affordable and that currently has a higher priority than profits.
Until they can make a 15K Model 1 with FSD that probably will not change.
However as I said above a lot of Elon's statements are open to interpretation, not about the current aims, but about future aims once the current aims have been satisfied.
IMO once the mission is essentially complete, it is a new ball game, time for the next mission.
