But when we're talking about a 2 or 3 fold price difference from just a few years ago, then I could see how it becomes valid, and harmful to the Model 3. Interest in that car would be so much higher if gas was $5 / gallon. And add to it that the fed tax credit will likely run out soon and suddenly the Model 3 does just become a luxury, not a car that actually makes financial sense.
