> The CEO commented in the announcement:<p>> Tesla will make a compelling $25,000 electric vehicle that is also fully autonomous<p>Given that they currently sell “fully autonomous <i>at some future time</i>” for $15,000 or $199/month (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot#Pricing" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot#Pricing</a>), I can believe them to <i>aim for</i> a $25,000 car that you can buy that update for or add that subscription to, but I wouldn’t call that a “$25,000 electric vehicle that is fully autonomous”.
Anecdotally, most traveling autos are under capacity. The driver and maybe one passenger. Most people for most cases have too much car. Yet there are few available alternatives.
