  1. The lowest price Model 3 when they first came out in 2017 was 35k and the lowest price 3 that you can order today on Tesla web site is $40,390. In inflation adjusted dollars the present price is 5.16% less expensive than it was five years ago.

  2. Tesla is the only EV company in China that can make a profit building cars without state incentives.

  3.  @tedmoss  Could be, the rate of inflation has changed since I did the percentage.

  4.  @Chainyanker007  And at least for the present I have seen reports that BYD EVs are only profitable because of Chinese government incentives. I know that their buses that are made in CA have restrictions that native companies do not have. Tesla has the highest brand loyalty of any OEM, Mercedes is second, but the distinction that owners find in their Teslas is something that so far, most who are critical but have never even driven a Tesla do not really have any comprehension of.

  5. I think it should be called the model T: where the T is the Tesla symbol instead of a T.

  6. China has $30 trillion savings in their banking system.

  7.  @Enforcer_WJDE  Are you referring to the rural banks that froze accounts back in May and began repayment at the end of July, and whose principal execs are now under investigation? Or some other story that I am unaware of?

  8.  @Enforcer_WJDE  I don't know why I even bother, but if you think that everything in China belongs to the CCP you have like a cartoon image of China. The rest of your pseudo-remedial regurgitation of common geopop tropes is naive, but if you throw enough ill-considered slop against the wall some of it will stick, which is to say some of it will be a vague approximation of what may happen.

  9. In inflation adjusted dollars the least expensive model 3 is over 5% less expensive now than it was in 2017!

  10. Not stuck at all. The lowest price Model 3 when they first came out in 2017 was 35k and the lowest price 3 that you can order today on Tesla web site is $40,390. In inflation adjusted dollars the present price is 5.16% less expensive than it was five years ago.
