BYD targets volume, Tesla targets margin. The solution for Tesla to go downmarket is the Model 2 (codenamed Redwood).

Another way to look at this is BYD targets revenue with profit secondary, Legacy manufacturers target profit with volume secondary, and Tesla targets margin with profits secondary.

If they can hit $25k for a Model Foo that would be awesome :)

Tesla is the new Solyndra in the making now. Worldwide EV will get swallowed up by Chinese EVs, with BYD currently spearheading that. Tesla will retreat back to USA and hunkered down in America until perish or niched like Segway or Chrysler.
