Tesla to produce $25K car as early as 2022

If Tesla can stick to that schedule, demand for their $25K EV is likely to be... ridiculously large. It would compete with many legacy mass-market vehicles. The main barrier to growth would be how fast Tesla can make the new cars. It could be a game changer.

Agreed.

I'd buy one on day 1 if it at minimum: had the range for my relatively short commute (30 miles each way), matched my current vehicle's safety tech (lane keep assist/automatic emergency breaking/traffic aware cruise control), and had a standard wiper stork on the steering wheel (so I don't get tickets for using my wipers!).

A sedan at $37K+ is a tough sell for me personally. But at $25K~? Heck yeah, if just to enjoy the software updates/fun features/mechanical simplicity of electric/etc.

If customers are willing to accept a Tesla.

Every one one my friends who bought one complains of quality issues, the cars record way too much data, the auto pilot was released before was ready and can't be trusted, and you're not supposed to repair them yourself.

I would much rather pay more a Volkswagen, or any other brand.

I just want a quality product, and that means avoiding Tesla.
