This is how they will raise the price $5000 for the same specs.
Yeah and most Tesla's weight like 4000-5000 lbs. How about some weight reduction?
I looked into it once and found that the drive train weighed about 1200lbs (can't remember which model). That was battery, motors and controllers. So after all the heavy stuff Tesla managed to add an entire Mustangs worth of weight. A lot of it is normal stuff like air bags but some of it it things like motorized trunks. Man, I can shut my own trunk. Don't need so many gadgets.
And then lobby for larger tax credits
