QuoteTesla's highly anticipated Model 3 - another small electric vehicle - is expected to lose billionaire Elon Musk's company $2,800 per car for the base version, according to UBS, but Tesla will break even at an average selling price of $41,000.
The base price is 35k, so they would need close to 50% margin on the next 6k in options. That seems rather high.

I'm not feeling it either.
How individuals feel is irrelevant.

All that matters is the facts and the stats.

That's why this thread was made. To shit all over Mono's luddite sympathies with cold hard facts and reality has cooperated beyond my wildest dreams.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Why would a person compare number of model ts shipped to # of tesla vehicles shipped without considering changes in population?

But what the graph shows is that the Model T grew slowly and gradually up through 1912, then had a big jump in 1913, and more big jumps in 15 and 16.  So the fact that Tesla sales have tracked Model T sales through 1912 isn't really that stunning a fact.  The article indicates Tesla has little chance of hitting post-1912 Model T sales figures.  The whole Model T comparison is just a red herring.
