Like iPhones? So inflating the price of all other top tier smartphones in order to compete in the 'luxury' market purely because of perceived value. I hope not. **I know you meant ubiquitous - like smartphones. (!iPhones)pic.twitter.com/UHH6NfPvwt

Now do profit margins
Yeah but Tesla are manufacturing cheaper vehicles, so I don't understand your point? The idea is to make it cheaper and more available, like cheaper devices, not a luxury item owned mostly in wealthy demographics.
Relatively cheaper. iPods used to be $800. They really broke through when you could buy them for $250. Teslas are amazing but at a $50k price point you can’t justify it. At a $25k price point? Different ball game.
Not denying that lowing the price of Teslas will increase their market share. Just saying its not like the iPhone, which has, unlike the iPod, increased in price every year, way above inflation rates, as far as I'm aware. LIke the iPod i can get behind. 
Talking about the one with @MKBHD yes?
I just like that a tech youtuber has this interview and we all know what your talking about even without any real references.
It’ll happen much sooner than that. $36k is the avg price of a car in the US and Tesla is already leading many other brands in July. Consumers will stretch for this car.
Key assumption that there will still be similar consumer demand for private car ownership in 9 years as there is today. If we all share cars, we will need many multiples fewer of them.
Volkswagen, BMW, and many American manufacturers claim to have an electric vehicle ready to be launched in the next 3 years
Their competitors built "Android" already. And their auto drive feature is not ranked high anymore. Hope their new factory in Shanghai can boost the productivity...
Was just thinking the same.. there's no way he's 3x off, and they will definitely be everywhere at this price point. Pretty awesome future ahead.
Most prob agree. But he has to keep reselling the vision and playing PR games (with varied results) b/c Tesla is in the tough place of dealing with the realities of being a publicly traded company ie the short interest skyrocketed after the NY Times piece last week
Tesla’s place is not to make the cheapest cars. They make the best cars and influence the rest of the industry. Affordable cars are great when it’s profitable, but to survive the company needs to capture the high end of the marker. Those customers keep TSLA alive. Same w/ AAPL.
In 9 years the market for car ownership will likely look different - in a good way, hopefully.
Let’s assume you are wrong.
He already have the technology to build a low cost car but he is too obsessed on car speeds. He can eliminate and reduce
When I started at Apple (2000) they'd just changed tactic to produce a small number of high priced systems with a far better user experience. Critics (like Dell) pointed to price & marketshare as a success metrics back then & still do - but these are late stage & unimportant.
