The X and S models were supposed to be the luxury class cars. I thought the 3 was supposed to be the long-promised "Tesla for the rest of us," an affordable car. As far as I know, BMW and Mercedes don't offer any cars in the US that I, or most people, would consider affordable. (I'm not counting the Smart, as it doesn't wear the right badge.) So if the Model 3 is officially competing in the BMW/Mercedes, it sure looks like Tesla failed to achieve their goal of developing an affordable Tesla. Maybe next time? After they get the new roadster and a few trucks out the door? If Tesla survives Elon Musk's increasingly (self-)destructive behavior, that is. :-\ David Roden - Akron, Ohio, USA EVDL Administrator = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = EVDL Information: http://www.evdl.org/help/ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Note: mail sent to "evpost" and "etpost" addresses will not reach me.
