Tesla rightly decided to make a boutique product precisely because they knew the new tech would be costly. Who wants a small sedan from GM that costs over 40k? I am betting it is not a big seller.

I must not have been thinking entirely clearly when I posted that, because I actually <em>would</em> like to see the project itself and idea behind it succeed. What I do not like is how GM is handling it. It makes me say things like I did in my above post. Then again, who likes how GM is handling anything? 1169hp :

Why should this car be substantially less than that? I'm sure that's GM's thinking. By the time they've priced the thing at 50k, and the dealers mark it up to 75k, I'm sure they'll just have tons of buyers. How much will the Tesla “sell” for when it’s finally produced? 100k?
