I don't think a 30k Tesla has been made yet. these are all 50-75k+

yeah, i think the cheapest model 3 they will actually sell you $45k.

also that guy's pinned tweet:

Railroads want lines going to car factories. Car factories want trains. The easiest way to ship a large amount of cars is via train.

What UP did, if true, is not only burned the village, but salted the earth. They basically ruined any prospect of any factory going there again. So it's partially a stupid move out of spite (because any future factory there wouldn't have a rail line), but if Musk was the catalyst, then :laffo:

model 3 was advertized as starting at $35k with that being about $30k after the tax credit, however they have a lot of upgrade options and they currently aren't making any models without a lot of those upgrades added on.
