I think Tesla prices will only go down if the supply goes up faster than the demand. Sadly but also happy for Tesla I think their demand will continue to grow faster than cars manufactured.

Currently Tesla has very large margins on their EVs. It is not so much cost of goods but the demand that has sent prices soaring. Personally I think the demand will outpace GigaTexas and GigaBerlin.
(Last reported 33% gross margins, and that was delivering cars that were booked in Oct-Jan at cheaper prices, in comparison Hyundai, Kia, Nissan all report 4-5% margins)



TL;DR. .. way to go Tesla on making an awesome car. Sadly your popularity has put your price out of reach for so many people.

Oh and one other thing. . . The current standard Range Model no longer makes fiscal sense to me. I would recommend against it at the current price, 1 year ago on Cougarboard I even tried to convince someone that it was the best option on the market, but the 12K increase is too much. I can't imagine spending 50 K after TTL + destination on a car that doesn't road trip well.
