Johnny Bacigalupo and Rob Hussey have been hit with a £17,000 bill to fix their Tesla after it was damaged in the rain - they have been told to pay even if they say it's not their fault
Let’s deduct the average per-car profit of $9500, not pay any taxes, since it’s a gift… we’re at $ 153 207 089 787 600. Still a few billions above the yearly global GDP.
Where in the world is Tesla a status symbol? Because I bought my M3P because I couldn’t afford a BMW i4 M50, let alone a iX or EQS/EQE AMG. The BMW is similar size and performance and costs 30% more.
I still like it, but it was the compromise option.
I’m comparing what avg people drive in vs Tesla across EU. It’s symbol of having been able to afford expensive things.
BTW Cheapest tesla for 2023 where i curently reside costs 55k EUR.
There’s no point buying not new one because battery might not be in the shape and costs fortune in comparison to combastion car usually maintanance.
Even full electric BMW x1 costs 15k EUR less.
Don’t let me start about combustion Renault models which are not even selling due to their bad quality reputation.
He wouldn’t buy them from himself at full MSRP, only cost.

And I’m using this bullshit fake base price per car that’s not even real. Seriously, read the text behind the asterisk, this is outright scam.
Tesla probably has a lot higher profit than other cars, since Teslas are a Status-Symbol rather than just a Car
but yes

US, EU, RU, probably even China…
Not in the EU for sure. American cars have always been “lots of horsepower and low-ish quality for a low price”, and Tesla keeps the trend.
I only know rich people who buy Tesla in EU. Rest of the people are driving half the price combustion engine cars.
A Tesla is significantly cheaper than an equivalent combustion car.
Are you comparing a 5 seat 400HP tesla with a 4 seat 120HP Renault? Of course the 120HP Renault is cheaper.
Compare it to a 400HP BMW (or even a 200HP Renault).
EDIT: a Tesla Model 3 is 43.000€, a Renault Megane RS starts at 50.000€

Even if the cost was an impossibly low 10% of MSRP, that’s still $30 trillion dollars based on the math above and well more than he has.
Why are you guys so literate about it. OP just used something called exaggeration.
