Maybe, just maybe, this isn't about Tesla at all but an effort to get all manufacturers to offer less expensive EVs.

$45,000 CAD = $33,572.95 USD as of 1-May-2019
That could well be. For Tesla to make the Model 3 fit was a hard squeeze though.

I don't like hard limits, I'd prefer a gradual trimming calculated over the net sale price, not the base model.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
