Re: 35k Tesla-it was here and gone, probably before anyone got one.

You can't buy it through the website

It was said that they will sell you one through phone or dealer sales, not internet. Which tells me that's just to talk you out of it. But if you really did want to buy one, it is the exact same as the $39500 version, with a software lock. So the car itself can't be made and sold for that price and not be a loss.
The reality is the $35 000 Tesla is actually a $39 500 car.
But don't take it from me, Elon has this to say:
Quote:
One thing Musk was sure of is that the Model 3 will never cost less than $35,000. He had previously suggested it might be possible to lower the price to $25,000 in an August 2018 interview with YouTuber Marques Brownlee.
“It’s excruciatingly difficult to make this car for $35,000,” he said Thursday. Future models could cost less than the $35,000 Model 3, Musk added, but those won’t exist for “at least two to three years.”

As I've been saying, these aren't easy problems to solve. Pretending they have been solved is not helpful.
