The base model will have just one motor though, and the batteries are actually the same as Model S (60kWh or 85kWh). Given that they've had time to refine their manufacturing techniques and such, it could be cheaper than Model S. However I agree that $45k is likely incorrect, and in practice it's hard to imagine they'd make it much cheaper than Model S, if at all.
