The touted more range, but batteries have gotten better for less since their prototypes so that shouldn't cost anything. I think the biggest cost might be a 3 year warranty, but I would be happy to buy for less with no warranty. Basically I think they just needed to be sold for more like $16,000 and then they added $2000 in content to that, and jabbed another $1000 in profit to get head of the line jumping. At some point I hope they do offer the $12,000 version to those who waited in line even if they have to take a loss.
