I think they should take the Tesla (motors) approach and enter the market at a high price first and then slowly bring the price down over time to their intended goal levels. Sort of like how the first HIV prevention drug (PREP) is entering the market. I’ve donated a small amount to Parsemus and I would easily pay $5k for their $20 procedure but for whatever reason they haven’t made it to the market.

Perhaps that's the goal, however Model 3s cost as much as Model S's had on release, at least by how I see folks actually configuring them. I have yet to seen anything approaching the base 3 in the wild.

It's not a problem of price, it's one of approval. There's a long road in the US to get regulatory approval for a surgical procedure that involves injecting a semi-permanent substance. Putting a compliant car on the road is a cakewalk in comparison.
