You would literally have to pay me to own that thing.
I have one of those. Can make it to work and back... barely. I believe the EPA estimate was ~105 miles, but that was a joke when the car was new and is just sad these days, where I realistically get ~40(fortunately, I bought it used)
When asked by an analyst whether Tesla factored in BMW’s challenges, Dyke answered on Sonic’s earnings call: “There’s no question.”
“I’ve spent a lot of time in manufacturing meetings, and five years ago, Tesla was just not even a real big topic,” Dyke said. “Today, it’s at the top of everybody’s board, and it needs to be.”
I guess if the latter then it's the Model 3 as I'm not sure you'll fit many pizzas in there.....Scenario : Did I get a bonus this year or lose my job and have to deliver Pizza now.

This looks like it is the new way of doing things at Tesla. Promote young executives from within. What they lack in seasoning, they make up in youthful energy, commitment to the cause, and area expertise. Denholm as Chairman of the Board. Kirkhorn as CFO. Chang as General Counsel.
I get and agree with the drift of your post, but your writing makes it sound as though Denholm came up through the ranks at Tesla...which very most definitely was not the case.Mechanical engineering background. Went back to school to get his JD/MBA from USC.

I wouldn't pay $10k for that. Much less $19,999 and wait for Fed Tax Credit.

Can someone explain this to me? Why does Tesla take forever to refund a deposit? I’m still waiting for a $450 refund (reg fee overcharge) after 10 months.
Sure you can. Now someone needs to design a pizza box flinger so once there is FSD Model 3s can be used to deliver those pizzas sans driver.I guess if the latter then it's the Model 3 as I'm not sure you'll fit many pizzas in there.....
I'm pretty sure Tesla wants to make Standard Range available the moment the new assembly lines at the Gigafactory start producing battery packs. It's an expensive assembly line the size of a football field, and they'd want to start generating a return on that capital investment ASAP.
But note that it's not a binary decision and that SR can be decoupled from the $35k price:
I.e. there's a number of production supply and bundling degrees of freedom Tesla has to maintain their 20-25% gross margin target for the Model 3, even after the introduction of the SR variant.
- Tesla has the freedom to limit the supply of SR configurations via production: they could only offer say 5k such units initially, per quarter, until they are ramping up. They reap the PR and "get the customer into the showroom" benefits, with a controlled impact on effective ASP.
- Tesla has the freedom to limit supply and improve margins via bundling: the initial SR could be bundled with AWD or the Premium Interior. That would allow an initial price of $39,000 and probably better margins than Medium Range.
- I'm sure there's tens of thousands, maybe over a 100,000 pending orders in the U.S. alone for the Standard Range battery pack. Tesla would want to utilize that pent-up demand and serve them, before the Shanghai Gigafactory starts taking away the supply of SR battery packs.
- There's also the phase-out of the $3,750 federal tax credit at the end of Q2 (end of June) - there's just so much time to capture customers for whom that's an actionable incentive but for whom the current $41,900 price is too high.

She's great, the interviewers are clueless bobbleheads. CNBC must hire from the very bottom of the pile.CNBC - this morning:

As I updated the post, the 24 kwh Leaf was 74/83 miles. In 2016 (?) they updated to 110 miles (~30 kwh).I have one of those. Can make it to work and back... barely.
