TSLA is getting hammered because analysts don't believe they'll sell as many cars as they say. Some of it due to lower gas prices.


I don't think gas prices impact the Model S/X, the price point is just too high to be a bracket where that's a major factor. I think that for the Model 3 they're going to be production constrained to a point where we'll see gas prices come back to normal.

Also a big factor in the TCO is the lack of maintenance and overall simplicity in a electric drivetrain and that's completely independent of gas prices.


Agreed! It's the Model 3 that is aimed towards the economy segment which is dependent on higher gas prices.


And the driving experience which is just plain awesome!!
