With Tesla, you can turn a $2,442 windshield installation into a $3,174 windshield installation through the power of interest.

This is being reported by the Teslasphere as an "excellent option" to restore affordability to a car market that desperately needs more affordability.

Only, neither of those numbers is even in the same ballpark as affordable.

How much of this expense is because Tesla is a small auto manufacturer? I imagine they don't have the economies of scale that others do.

And I'm not even thinking about the stupid wankpanzer with all it's custom BS...

I feel like a competent CEO would have merged with a large auto manufacturer and maintained an independent leadership.
