I'm curious as to your reasoning. They're about to have a shit-ton of batteries via the gigafactory, absolutely no one is holding them to any kind of build quality standards (I've yet to hear anyone say anything nice about the X) and aside from the batteries, an electric car is basically a car with all the expensive shit taken away. Chevy has to sell the Bolt for $37k because they need to make money on it. Tesla has proven time and time again that they can sell cars at a loss and Wall Street throws roses at them. Presume the Model 3 costs Tesla $50k to build and they sell it for $33k. At $17k lost per car, their valuation is still $153k per car sold.
