- orik 10y agoTesla's are really affordable cars in other places (Norway), due to tax incentives for electric vehicles over vehicles.
- dagw 10y agoNot really, the basic no frills model S starts at over $80k. Sure that's a lot cheaper than other cars in the same performance class, but that's a far cry from being affordable.
- izacus 10y agoA car that still costs 60.000EUR (and that's a really stripped down model) after incentives is nowhere near "affordable" for most of Europe, much less world.

- epoch1970 10y ago$75,000 is still about 2 times the cost of a brand new traditional luxury car. It's about 3 to 4 times the cost of a brand new lower-end or mid-range car. It's 10 to 20 times the cost of a used car. Maybe $75,000 isn't as unaffordable as $120,000, but it's not exactly cheap for most car consumers.
- krzyk 10y agoDoes this include taxes (and in which country)? Buying Tesla in UE (in country that doesn't do subsidies) taxes can be +30%, not taking into account the $->euro conversion rate (which is artificially increased by the sellers).
