  4. There are a few issues before the adoption of electric car goes mainstream: No Juice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlDL_kjk1PM 1. Cost of acquisition is still higher than gas powered car (Toyota Camry at $18k-$25k). 2. Electric charging station infrastructure needs to be at every corner like gas stations. When you get to a charging station and have to wait for other cars ahead of you to finish, then add your charging time to the wait time. Also if all the stalls are used, charging time can be up to 50% longer. 3. Time to recharge the battery under 5 minutes like ICE cars. 4. Resale value: Depreciate very fast. People junk ICE cars when a major thing brakes and the repair costs are about the same as the car's value. Example: a new transmission costs $4k, so noone is going to buy that car for much more than $4k. Likewise, a Tesla battery replacement costs $12k-20k, which means that noone's going to buy a used Tesla once its value is close to $12k-$20k. And mainstream new ICE sedans like a Toyota Camry costs $18k-$25k; therefore why would anyone who's going to spend $25k consider a used Tesla when they can get a new Toyota Camry (and not incur rental car costs while their car is in the shop)?? 5. Model 3 has trouble using other brand of chargers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8nyV5Pi5E 1 hour and 20 minutes to charge? Crazy to stick around that long compared to 6 minutes for ICE cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8nyV5Pi5E&t=0s No Juice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlDL_kjk1PM

  6. No, $35k is average for cars and suv. But the Tesla Model 3 is a car, not a suv; the average ICE car (Toyota Camry) is $18k-$25k so that makes the Tesla Model 3 at $35k + $1500 non black color + $ home charger Besides, this is stripped down: - manual seats - manual steering adjustments - cloth seats (for a $35k car?). Really? - basic audio "Return in 7 days or 1000 miles for a full refund" needs clarification on "full". Unless things have changed, the $2500 "configuration fee" you pay is not refunded. Indeed, Tesla has kept that even when people did not accept the car delivered (due to scratches or other defects, or high mileage). They say that is a labor fee for matching you to a car. Elon even promoted this 7 day trial as something you could do just to impress your friends, at no cost. If true, $2500 would be a very expensive 7 day rental.
