Definitely a move in the right direction. The question is: is the new car a) simple and b) repairable: if it isn't the resale value will fall through the floor, if it is, you really will have something where the total cost of ownership is comparable with an ICE car.
Retail prices much depend on profit per item to manufacturer. Apple likes 100/250% of parts and labour cost. If Tesla would be happy with a 25% markup on materials and labour ..i.e Chinese labour..their base EV could cost $15000/$20000
Elon, congratulations. People need affordable transportation, and your promise will help. Way to go.

Elon lost my business when he went stumping for Trump. Besides BYD cars are much better and cheaper.
