True. I was really comparing with the current Fed credit, though you're right there's not much time left at the $3,750 level for Tesla.

The price gap does reflect the tiers that I think will develop as more models come to market: $20-$35K range for entry-level EVs, $40-55K for the likes of Tesla Model 3/Y and any manufacturer who wants to take them on in that bracket, then $60K+ for premium vehicles that aren't trying to appeal to the price-conscious buyer. Back-of-a-napkin numbers, admittedly, and I know some models will shift between brackets depending on trim level, but I do believe we need that lower entry level price to really kick EV adoption on to the next phase.
