I can't find ANY reference to Elon Musk talking about a $30,000 car. He did promise a $35,000 car in his Q2 2013 earnings call ( https://seekingalpha.com/article/1616182-tesla-motors-ceo-discusses-q2-2013-results-earnings-call-transcript?part=single ) So using an inflation calculator ( https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ ) a car costing $35,000 in 2013 would cost $37,869.21 today, thanks to inflation. Add on import tariffs recently introduced in the US, and you are almost exactly at $39,000.
GM were the ones touting the $30,000 car (Their Bolt EV), which has a current sticker price of $37,495. So again, quite a distance from their initial promise.
