Yup, and as battery prices drop those margins are going to get even better(although I doubt we'll see the same level on the Model 3).

- ams6110 10y agoOnly if they can sustain prices as competition comes online from other makers.
- jsight 10y agoIt is going to take about 3 years for competition to reach where Tesla is right now with regards to range and charging networks.
- gniv 10y agoCharging networks maybe, but range no. The Chevy Bolt that will start selling in a couple of months has 238 miles range. GM doesn't have the superchargers, but they can afford to price these cars with zero profit for a while, if they want to undercut Tesla.
- nartsbtaa 10y agoBut who would drive a Chevy Bolt if they could drive a Tesla? Even if the Bolt is a better car, Tesla has the better brand name for now.

- jsight 10y agoMy point was that the two are important together. A 240 mile range without a supercharger network is still a car that will not be particularly useful for a long trip (2+ hour drive).
