As far as prices are concerned I initially configured the basic model at $36k but my spouse wanted the $1k blue color option and I wanted the $4.5 Auto Pilot..That brought the car to $41.5k which was still $5k cheaper than the Hyunda Kona or the Kia Niro. BTW, the car comes equipped with the full self driving hardware that I can upgrade at any time.
Based on the experience of Tesloop which has over 200k miles on some of its cars I think my cars will be around for at least X years. I have been involved in corporate finance most of my life and know that it is difficult to predict the future but I think Tesla as a manufacturer will be around in some form or another well into the future. I dont think the solar business has much value but the Powerwalls and Powerpacks give them a lead in battery technology and scale that will be difficult to catch. As discodanman45 said they are as much a battery and software company as they are a car company.
