Go look whats under the shell. $10K in batteries and $3K in motors, $1k in transmission and $2K in brakes and shocks., $1k in tires. Price tag is $100K last I knew. I think what Musk is doing is awesome and look forward to his $40K version, but his luxury sedan is crazy spendy for what actually there.

Price tag is 65ish to 120ish depending on how much luxury and "lol nobody needs this" stuff you add. "Ludicrous Mode(tm)" alone is 10k, and while it's fun as fuck (actually made my stomach do the Gforce roller coaster thing), I'd never shell out for it.
My Model 3 will clock in at around 40k I think, after adding leather interior and the dual motor package. Minus the 7.5k or 3.75k credit of course. It's entirely possible to get a Model 3 up to 80k+ I'm sure, with all the extra luxury and tech add on stuff you can throw in these things.

You should go let Tesla know they are getting ripped off on everything they are building, I'm sure they will appreciate this new and exciting info you have.

Musk came right out and explained that this was his entire Tesla business model. Roadster for rich people to fund S. S for luxury car buyers to fund 3. Model 3 coming out soon at a very reasonable price.
Where's the grave injustice here? Early adopters of anything pay more, always. And as I explained above, you're way off on your blanket 100k price tag on the S.

I am a big fan of the guy, he is the only person I see trying to innovate and move tech forward in big ways. His solar roof and house batteries look awesome and are a game changer. I have no qualms about him getting massively rich for those efforts. My point is the cost of the bits and pieces are almost nothing from a production stand point. And that is a model for a successful product. My price break out on those parts was even on the high side, if you were paying retail ala carte, and not fabbing it all in house. The fact he has patents he puts up for free use is beyond benevolent. He is a bad ass.

the injustice is a grown man not understanding the concept of business overhead.

is this a serious post? the raw materials used to build your phone probably cost $5. did you get ripped off by paying $500?

This is very cool and i would love if it ever became widespread but shitlords being shitlords i can already see them champing at the bits waiting to hijack(hacking/shooting down/ netting) some drones. They all want to be modern day stagecoach robbers.
