Quite true. I think the only reason the Leafs can be pumped out so cheaply is because they setup everything for mass production.

We'll really have to wait and see. The Model S should be a much higher volume vehicle than the Roadster was. I'm sure the success of the S and X will influence the future vehicles quite a bit.
