>Rear drive standard range model 3 starts at 40K Even if you round up $39K to 40K. It's still a far cry from your initial $50k assumption. $10K is not even close to being a rounding error and makes it seem like you're reaching. You also made quite a bit of other assumptions here. You should actually fact check some of your claims. You can do the math yourself. Numbers don't lie. If you can somehow show that the articles and data is wrong. I genuinely would love to see how. Because I put a high value on facts/data vs opinion and that will be news to me.

Tesla 3's ASP was ~60K in 2018 https://cleantechnica.com/2018/08/23/tesla-model-3-average-selling-price-asp-59300-surveys-find/ https://cleantechnica.com/2018/08/23/tesla-model-3-average-s... That was the latest data I could find and I decided to give them a break. You will find in analysts calls a number of 50K is a common estimate. > Numbers don't lie. Agreed

  From starting price now to ASP. What's next? That's some mental gymnastics going on there. FYI there has been several price cuts since 2018. > Agreed So... Do you have that calculation handy where a Camry/Accord cost less to own after 5 years? I would love to see it, so we can compare notes.

    Independent of whether you are right or wrong, your tone makes you look like an asshole. Please moderate it. Your "sealioning" debate strategy does not help you either. (The other posted also talked about ASP of Toyotas, so his comparison was fair btw.)
