[QUOTE=spd2918;2013724][QUOTE=GrumpyOldMan;2013631]Apparently, Tesla's are a bit too pricey for some posters taste, so here is a tasty rumor - $25,000 model in 2 years possibly with FSD,

That's cheap for any type of new car. But His Holiness Elon Musk can sell them below cost, because he is raking it in with "carbon credits."

The carbon credit scheme is government manipulation of the market; they are picking winners and losers. Since Teslas are power by fossil fuels that are converted into electricity, they get to extort manufacturers of cars that run directly on fossil fuels.

Yes, the model 2 will be coming out soon but the styling is not like the current Tesla's. Looks more like an SUV. I'm sure the battery range won't be exciting, either. Doesn't matter, I'm looking forward to seeing them on the road. PS - a motorcycle is in the works, too.
