This is like saying that the Formula 1, exists for nothing. This is the way to test all the engineering efforts, it also leaves that knowledge in the company for future and further improvements, which directly influences the design and execution of the Model 3.

But I have to agree that waiting for an affordable Tesla car is getting anoying, and they do need to create an income stream from a lower priced model for creating a sustainable company, and take advantage of the wow factor that still surrounds Tesla and evertything they make.

But they have also innovated in other areas like the house batteries, which for me was a surprise (for me it seems odd that Tesla makes batteries for the average household) but they are generating other income streams, so it seems that Teslas agenda is not only the Model 3.

As a fellow F1 buff, the upgrades takes years to roll down to production cars. And in software parlance, they shouldn't be focusing on the MVP at this point.

That right and that may be more profitable and they may pivot and leave the car manufacturing to the incumbents.
