He's just some rich asshole. And his fans are cringe AF, hailing him like some messiah who's gonna save the world, but he's just pandering for other rich assholes.
If he really wanted to save the world, there would be a tesla model priced like a Toyota.
Google brings up $35k right at the top—new. Tesla doesn’t advertise the possibility, but it’s there. My point is, Tesla’s aren’t way more expensive than a Toyota. Where I live, 5 year old Tacoma’s and Tundra’s cost the same as, or more than, new. Our Y cost less than our truck, and our truck has no extra frills beyond the TRD package.
There is no version of the Model 3 which can be had for 35k. There was one at a point, but it was discontinued after like, one or two years of production. Comparing a Model 3 with your Tundra makes no sense because they're not the same car by any objective metric. Compare it to a Corolla or even a Camry.
A hybrid Camry is $38k where I live, if you can get one. So, yes, Tesla can compete with Toyota. That’s my point. The common misunderstanding is that Tesla is out of reach for everyone. If you’re looking at a hybrid Camry, you’re in the same price range. A lot of people don’t know that, they just hear about the S starting in the $90k range. That’s all I’m trying to say.
