FTA: "Most people think you have to wait for the $35,000 model for the Model 3 to be comparable to a nice Camry, but the calculations show that the tax credit and fuel savings make the Model 3 very competitive today!" The tax credit (7,500) and a "nice" Camry (35k), seems like you need to stack the deck firmly in the Model 3's favor to make it seem more affordable. The loaded Camry uses a V6 engine - it's disingenuous to make that kind of comparison, no one looking for efficiency would buy a vehicle with a V6. Frankly the 3 is a luxury vehicle until the 35k version comes out - even then that is your typical starter level luxury price - the tax break would be cut in about half for that model, to 3,750, according to the article. The 35k model is an absolute must for Tesla. That is the real challenge. There is nothing impressive about a 55k Model 3 to me given their other vehicles. I have faith they will get there but they need to get there first.
