TTQ B4U Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I like them a lot but they need to step up their game on interiors. Especially at that price point. Cool stuff though. I think if they can launch the slightly smaller $35k'ish version and perhaps extend the range to even say 350 miles, they'd crush many of the dino driven competitors.

Sledhead36 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 that would be cool. let's just figure out a way to make it affordable. By spring of 2017 there'll be a $35,000 car that most likely will have the battery pack that we have right now. It will be approximately 300 miles. The premium products will always be in the luxury model. Meaning that most likely autopilot, high-capacity batteries and newer technology will be retained exclusively for the premium car. Once they've been out for a year or two they most likely will be added to the reduced cost model. But the overall goal is to have a very affordable car in the not-too-distant future. It was just announced a new roadster will be developed in 2018 and will have a 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds Maximum Plaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are quite a few ways to pick up that same .1 second without dropping $10k to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are quite a few ways to pick up that same .1 second without dropping $10k to do it. Yeah but the quarter mile goes to 10.9 vs 11.6. Still pricey yes, but not too shabby. I stand by my love for an RS7 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 By spring of 2017 there'll be a $35,000 car Cash price? Or $35k "with gas savings"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I like them a lot but they need to step up their game on interiors....
