Which seems pretty reasonable...large family sedan vs a sports sedan.

Besides, when the new Tesla roadster rolls out in 2020/2021, it is game over for everyone else anyway. At a price point of ~$200k, it'll kind of make the Porsche Taycan a joke. Unless you are a Porsche only individual. Which, to their credit, is a fairly sizable market.

Replying here because I can't to child.

Tesla's capex being lower than depreciation doesn't mean that they're not maintaining their production lines (but neither does it mean they're not - the two are largelty unrelated).

Depreciation is set by accounting policy, not by how much maintenance capex you'd need to spend to keep the facility in the same condition.

You can still reply though, you just need to click on the time stamp above the comment and you'll get a reply box for that comment.

Tesla's capex spending is lower than their depreciation, meaning they're not investing enough to maintain their existing production lines. There is no way they will be rolling out any new models any time soon.

Additionally the MS and MX interiors are starting to get a bit dated compared to the ultra-sleek Model 3’s interior - the MS’s interior design is still fundamentally unchanged since 2012. They did upgrade the infotainment system in early 2018 though, but that’s invisible to users who don’t notice smoother framerates.

I'm skeptical Tesla can even roll out the Model Y before 2021. Meeting deadlines has never been their strong suit.

Rimac pretty much stole the show in the electric supercar segment already.
