They're 2 iterations away from the "every man" car. Model S is a 60-90k car. The next level down is likely 30-60k. The next level down is the 15-30k car (think Honda Civic/Accord).

There's no justification for killing an innocent man. The 'manhunt' is of an innocent man, which status he maintains until found guilty in a court of law by a jury of his peers. That's the standard. Or at least it was once the standard. Now
