@Tesla When adjusted for inflation, that original target equates to approximately $47,617 in today’s dollars. Yet, Tesla has significantly overdelivered on this promise: the new Standard Model 3, launched yesterday at a starting price of $36,990 (unsubsidized!), comes in 22% below that inflation-adjusted figure.
@larsmoravy Put another way, in 2016 dollars, this latest Model 3 would only cost about $27,189.
