WSJ says if any SR sold@$35k will incur $6k loss to Telsa, and there is not enough volume and pricing power to make suppliers drop prices.
Given that status quo, our plan probably will be changed to grab a Bolt or Leaf, or just stick with our bimmers for now.

The math is kinda funky here. If you get a Tesla before the end of the year, you get full $7500 from the Fed. On 1/1/19 this drops to $3750, six months later to $1875. Given the $9K difference between LR Premium and SR Base, buying LR Premium now is only $3K more expensive than buying SR Base after 7/1/19, and just $1500 if you wait until 2020. So keep that in mind.
