To mention BYD here is because once the price goes down to $35000, one
should not expect the Model 3 to have the same luxury as that from Model S.
One may definitely be disappointed even if the price gap is clearly there.
Since the battery cost takes almost half of the car price, there is not too
much leeway left for the rest of the parts to look fancy. At that time, one
may also complain how low-end looking Tesla has. Governmental subsidy may be
a way out but I am positive the proposal will very likely be dismissed by
the reps of the big oil firms at the congress.
Anyway, Tesla is doing everything they can to move forward but the route is
deemed to be full of hurdles.
