Calling $60k FUD is way overboard considering that's the average selling price...
- rconti 8y agoThat was about the absolute most you could possibly pay for one (assuming you ordered the 19" wheels AND paid for autopilot AND paid to pre-order FSD) until they started shipping the Dual Motor and Performance models, what, 1 month ago? When 60k was the max, it couldn't have been the average, and now that there's been a sudden backlog of AWD/Performance demand being satisfied, the numbers are being skewed up similarly. There's no way 60k can possibly be the average of all sold 3s. And, regardless, in the context of parent's post "if only it was $35k instead of $60k", the correct way to phrase it would have been "if only it was $35k instead of $50k".
- reitzensteinm 8y agoThe averages went from $55k to $56k to $60k in the last three quarters. Including Autopilot and FSD does actually make sense, considering at the $35k unveiling Musk joked it wouldn't have a steering wheel... A reasonable person with the facts at hand could have written what OP did. Calling it FUD is straight up uncalled for, even if your argument is correct.
