it’s all about what customers in different countries are able or willing to pay. I think that if Tesla selling their cars all over the world as the same value in USD they play a dangerous game. I remember 5-6 years ago Canadian dollar was 8% over the USD and we were still paying our cars (in Canada) at a very higher price. I’m not saying Tesla should sell his cars at zero profit but when a very basic 70D start at over 105k (Transportation inc) it starts to be a very very niche segment…
