Thanks, Dean. Good perspective. I tried to be clear in the story that the Prius Prime is doing well and growing in sales and popularity, despite the amazing success of the Tesla Model 3. I make clear in the title, teaser, and body of the story that the Prime's real success is when compared to other affordable models. I disagree with you that it does not matter that Tesla has not produced the $35K Model 3 it promised. Tesla is now shipping from inventory after only 100K cars were sold. With over 400K reservations at one time (according to Tesla) it seems that about 3/4 of reservation holders may have been assuming Tesla was telling the truth about the cost of the Model 3. You know from scanning the forums that there are many disappointed Model 3 fans who wanted and reserved a Model 3 expecting to pay $35K before incentives. But that is another story topic.
