It looks like it will be just $35K, which is less than half of the current lower-end Tesla. Perhaps it WILL appeal to the worker-bee commuter set, who will just have to plug it in every night instead of gas up. I can’t see the Temecula crowd (esp those with minor children to raise) paying $70K and up for a “work vehicle” as are the current Teslas. The sole reason they’re living in Temecula in the first place (instead of SD, where they work) is the lower cost of housing it affords.
The truth is, most of this massive group of commuting worker-bees CAN/COULD afford SD County … yes, even a 3+ bdrm home. They’re just in older suburban areas of SD County and this group wants an even bigger, newer home for the same (or less) money. Hence the tremendous sacrifice they’re making with their time on weekdays. This kind of life wouldn’t appeal to me (esp if I had young kids at home) but different strokes for different folks.
