What do I hear..5 times less costly...so soon tesla will become cheap?

[Kadudu]

Tesla will never be cheap. The battery which is the most expensive part of the electric car will become cheaper meaning the cars would soon be affordable for the common man on the streets.

I mean Tesla the car..not the company.

[Kadudu]

Tesla will be able to offer affordable cars. They will not be cheap cars but less expensive than what Tesla offers today.

Present Model 3  retail price is 45k usd. Target is 25k usd in 2022. That the whole point - scale the battery production - cause main cost is battery.

How much will tires and breaks cost?

As electric cars, even brake pad replacements are rare because regenerative braking returns energy to the battery, significantly reducing wear on brakes. Motor has internal breaking system.

What about tires? How many miles do you get on tire?

[patel]

Tire is a tire. If you buy 60K miles tire you get 60K miles etc etc no difference with your old car.

Tesla pioneering is revolutionary. This forces VW, Toyota, Audis and all dinosaurs to go EV.

I hate to say "you're right". You've been preaching it for a while . Tesla has an early advantage.

This is so stupid. I'm so tired of nutters like EM but I need people like him to pay me some day for multi-million $ patent regardless of the fact these cars are equivalent to giant wind up cars that can only last an hour or so on the road for 12+ hour recharge, replacement battery every 3 years for 10 grand after tax or earlier of course if the battery dies. You can't jumpstart these batteries.

Not from pedestrian research..it shows the Torque kills tires fast and the tires do not come cheap. TELSA cars are garbage. The only thing the cult thinks they have is the battery technology

Right! Why not just make cities walking friendly instead of propagating the 20th century's worst mistake - the automobile, using batteries. The whole thing is dumb. A way to make money off shallow faux environmentalists.

The revolutionary thing to do would be for cities to prioritize non motorized modes of transport. Most commutes are less than 5 miles you don't need a car for that. Cars only make sense for inter city travel. Modern society is one giant facepalm to me.

Telecommuting will reduce the need for lots cars and COVID-19 is what the doctor recommends. People need to move away from cities to rural areas - grow their own food, keep cattle and play there like real animals - and connect to each other virtually wherever possible. My daughter just finishing 1yr entirely online schooling. I wish COVID-19 can stay longer so we don't go back to normal....that mean work from home, school from home, etc. We would only go to work or school - occasionally.

Cities are by-product of industralization. With information age - you really don't need to live in a city - maybe peri-urban.

That is exactly what I'm planning. African cities are not good my for my soul. I get depressed every time I'm in Nairobi. Cities bring out the worst in people in Africa. Endless crime, poor sanitation, pollution, joblessness, traffic jams, ugly concrete  jungle, poverty & soul sapping depravation everywhere you look with no hope of amelioration. Against these background scarce public funds are spent constructing highways that only benefit the few well off and incentivize buying foreign cars which means precious foreign exchange leaving this country. We are in effect subsidizing rich countries who return a tiny portion of the money we foolishly parted with and call it foreign aid. I will never fathom our trade and economic policies. We should be aggressively promoting import substitution. The dollar keeps gaining against the Kenyan shilling because we import virtually everything and we have to pay for it in dollars. There is a glitch in the system. I kif up!

But be aware of security problem if you're living alone. I only sleep like a baby in Nairobi apartments. Somone need to build gated communities in rural areas - I mean where you have at least 1-2 acres - real sub-urban like karen of before - without paying an arm and a leg - maybe thrown in a golf course, swimming pool, a restaraunts, supermarket)...and at least 100-150kms from Nairobi. Maybe somewhere near Amboselli or Maasai Mara.
