The standard range Model 3 battery costs Tesla perhaps $5,500. That leaves nearly $30k to make the rest of the car, and yet they can't do so profitably.

Perhaps a $50k truck will be available, if you know who to ask and give the secret handshake. Tesla is going to do everything they can to sell the $100k version and barely mention the lower trim levels.
