This is Tesla's version of "cash on the hood", "September to Remember", "December to Remember", etc. etc.

Discounting pure and simple. Unfortunately, Tesla is so non-transparent that investors will have a hard time actually figuring out how much the discounts amount to.

Heck, why not just dispense with the Model 3 entirely and roll out a Tesla Model S45 for $45,000 and then start filling orders from the 375,000 Model 3 wait-list? Oh, I forgot, being on the Tesla waiting list may not actually get you a delivered vehicle, unless you want the fully-loaded, double-priced one.

Anyone out there still waiting for their $85,000 stripper Model X SUV? You may be waiting for a long time.

The grim reaper is circling.

This is Tesla being fucking desperate, but more importantly they are conveying the true value of the Model S.

Could someone please explain the business model for this-- I mean anything real beyond the effort to increase volume? The production costs would be the same. They differ by software that restricts performance and a badge. The price difference is quite large considering that a software upgrade can transform the car. If they would make a profit on the 60, then the entire price increase for the 75 is pure profit...
