    Because everyone knows 90% of the manufacturing cost of a car is bending the bodywork panels.

      One of Musks pitches for selling the car at 40k was that bending the steel panels is cheaper then making curved and painted ones.

      Of course, the cars lowest trim is 60k because Musk is a liar, but that was part of the hype he was selling.
