I figure in another year or two a Model 3 should be down below 20K, hoping for low teens.
Sure, you order your Model 3 and you have to wait months for it to be built.

One of the rumors is that Tesla has such severe quality issues, that many of the cars end up being returned where they just sit on a leased lot for the rest of their days. Others are rumored to be cars that were produced and the orders were cancelled before delivery. Either way they have an unusually large number of cars that sit on leased lots around the country that never seem to leave them.

One of my buddies is on this third Model S. He is a true believer in the brand. He has not been able to take any of them to the car wash (or drive them in the rain, for that matter) because the interior will be soaked if he does. All of them have inconsistent door gaps
