Chevy loses money on each bolt.

For the other automakers, they are all priced right around the base model 3 price. They battery is most expensive part of the vehicle. Tesla’s estimated battery costs are about 20% lower due to vertical integration.

Tesla’s have been the number one selling car in each category they’ve entered, so it’s going to be a lot easier for Tesla to move downmarket, than for others to move upmarket.

According to JD Power, Tesla’s build quality is still above Volkswagen, Audi and Volvo.
