- kyllo 13y agoWhen is Elon Musk going to make an electric car that costs < $30,000 new though?
- Crake 13y agoHe's actually working on it. You'll notice that the Roadster was super expensive ($90,000), but they rolled the money over into R&D to make the Tesla S ($60,000), money from which they will then roll over into R&D for an even cheaper vehicle. Elon's goal is to bring affordable EVs to the masses, which I think is pretty cool. http://www.teslamotors.com/fr_CH/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-just-between-you-and-me http://www.teslamotors.com/fr_CH/blog/secret-tesla-motors-ma... ^--This is from way back in 2006. You'll notice that they've since produced the Model S, and seem to be following the plan pretty well so far.
- jvoorhis 13y agoA Tesla representative gave a talk at my company recently, and supposedly the plan is to produce an EV at around $30,000. Tesla's supply-side partnership with Toyota still gives me hope for more affordable, ubiquitous EVs.

- bdavisx 13y agoLess than $30k? You're going to need less than $15 for the underclass that this article is talking about; and even then those people are going to have to buy used.
- ebiester 13y agoOne too many zeroes. The unexotic underclass would not even be able to afford the $3,000 dollar hybrid battery (Prius) replacement, much less a full EV battery.
