>Money to him is just a tool.
Does any adult human actually believe this? The guy has a personal carbon footprint bigger than 99.99999% of people on earth. He just negotiated the biggest pay package ever, tied to market cap. He's being investigated by the SEC for stock manipulation. But it's all because he loves the environment. The mystique behind this guy is unfathomable.
Tesla doesn't raise prices because it would harm already waning demand for their vehicles. The fact is, very few $60k+ sedans are sold around the globe, and it's a competitive space. At that price range, people have high expectations for luxury and build quality. The Model 3 gets points for being technologically advanced, but many buyers in this price range aren't interested in being beta-testers.
- bufferoverflow 8y agoHis personal carbon footprint doesn't matter, because he is actively working on reducing the emissions on a quite large scale. Model 3 was supposed to be cheaper, $35K, but they are concentrating on assembling the expensive versions first, which makes sense. They do need money to build more production lines. Unless a comparable competitor shows up, he will have customers for many years to come.
