Chinese Teslas are manufactured in China, using significantly cheaper batteries and probably other components. And they get to do so with practically using slave labor. Like most manufacturers.

Do you truly believe that all the US manufacturers sell their vehicles at a loss in China? It's pretty normal for Chinese vehicles to be significantly cheaper.

I don't think they are selling at a loss.   If SAIC-GM-Wuling can sell a car at $5k, I should think that Tesla can sell one at $39k and still make a buck.   

I think high end cars aren't right for the Chinese market.   Even in the US market, I wonder how many $61k cars can be sold even in the US with a median salary of $54k/year.     In China, that salary is closer to $15k/year, so a Tesla is at least double that.

EV or not, the disruptive car in the US is going to be the one that gets sold cheap, like the Model T or the VW Beetle.   

Tesla promised that early on, that they were going to keep making cheaper cars until they got to that Model T or VW beetle level and make zillions of them for the masses, and the stock is priced for them to do that, but they have yet to.  Let's seem them sell a $17,499 car, that will come in at $9999 after incentives.  If Wuling can do it, so can Tesla.
