I don't think anyone will actually buy $35k model. They made it so undesirable that it's almost laughable. Reminds me of 2004 Honda Accord DX model with $16995 with roll-up manual windows, plastic hub caps and manual tranny that hardly anyone bought.
Most will opt for $40k premium model. Though 37k is much better value, it's missing the core features that tickle fancy of Tesla buyers.

- elipsey 8y agoI drove a couple of Hondas like that, and I kind of liked them. Ever try replacing a window motor? :)
- gizmo385 8y ago> it's missing the core features that tickle fancy of Tesla buyers Can you clarify what you mean here? I would think that the "core features that tickle fancy" would be things like autopilot, but that's an expensive add-on package regardless.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoManual everything tends to be popular with the "I don't want a bunch of shit breaking when this vehicle is old" crowd. If I had ~40k burning a hole in my pocket I'd get the base spec with the big battery and all the self driving bells and whistles. I can see the most basic model with the biggest battery being popular with the kind of people who buy an accord and put 200k on it over 8yr.
- davidgould 8y agoI drove a 1994 Honda Accord DX stick for 20 years. It had 247000 miles on the meter when the dash stopped working three years before I replaced it with a Chevy Spark EV. Great car, it was still on the original clutch although it was using a bit of oil. Now I have a Model 3 Performance because it’s amazing, it’s what I was saving for driving the Accord all those years.
- leesec 8y agoWhat features? 37k has everything I need besides that sweet Performance model acceleration.
