$35,000

What? Not $34,999?

Interestingly, that extra dollar will pay an entire salary for an engineer at Tesla in a year or two.

Starting at $35,000. Nobody has any idea what power windows and an air conditioner are going to cost.

This is an important distinction.

Power windows and air conditioning are standard in practically every car now, right? I just got a 2017 Honda Civic EX (lowest end) which is ~$20000 and it how power windows and AC

So are auto transmissions, but some trim levels for some models don't have them. Another poster in this thread claimed that a TESLA sales rep cited no passenger-side AC in the Model 3.

The point of trim is bundling useless overpriced crap you don't want to pay for with stuff that you do want to pay for. This is a huge money-maker for auto manufacturers, and I would be shocked if TESLA takes a pro-customer position on it.
