You can't really say much until the specs are released.

  I'm not sure why this is downvoted, because you're totally right. I'm sure it will be a great car, but all we know at the moment is that it will cost $35,000 for the base model, have a range of at least 200 miles, and be somewhat smaller than the Model S. We have no idea what it will look like, what the options will be, what sort of features it will have, how the interior will be, etc. All of this will make or break it.

    Especially when the S starts at $70,500 (I HATE their pricing that has a whole bunch of rebate pricing, some of which may not be realized), but can go up to $133,500. At that ratio, you could be looking at $35,000 to $66,150. And that's not assuming (which is entirely possible) that the $35K is the "with all possible eligible rebates" price. Without that it's more likely to expect that you're looking at a $45K base.

      They've said the $35,000 price is before any tax credits or rebates. The rest is spot on, of course.

      The rules are different for a mass market car. If he says $35k he better end up with something that's pretty close to $35k. The buyer for this kind of car is different than that of a Model S.
