yeah, agreed on price and somewhat on convenience: right now a Tesla is likely primarily a 2nd car and a luxury car ... the Model 3/Y is starting to change that but it's still a high priced vehicle compared to lots of similar lower cost options. (Though I'd argue a BEV is more convenient for the suburban home owner: no petrol trips, less maintenance, etc)
The broader point is, ICE vehicles are at the peak of their cost/efficiency with 100 years of incremental evolution versus BEVs which are just starting up that curve both in terms of scale and components ... for BEVs it'll come down to battery production (and materials) and vertical integration.
Tesla breaks the savings this way:
So as the batteries get cheaper, and the overall economies of scale kick in, then the $25,000 EV starts looking likely by 2025.
As for the EV Macan Turbo ... I guess we'll find out next year!
