The Model 3 is $36k in China, $38k in the USA. They've missed the mark a bit, so a $25k vehicle might be welcome, especially in developing economies.

Well, adjusting for the inflation we’ve seen over the past few years, the price is actually not very far from 30k in pre-pandemic times.

They've already been beaten to the punch by BYD and their multiple cars under $20k. They even have a small hatchback for less than $10k!
