> At those prices I'm not sure how they aren't selling more cars.
I cannot imagine paying $40K for a car, and I'm sure there are millions like me. You may be optimistic on what you think the average person can afford.

The average new car purchaser may not be the average person, also the average include trucks with tend to be super super expensive.
Funny how things change.
My first new car was a truck, for the very reason that pick-up trucks were generally much cheaper than cars because they were mostly empty space and didn't have so many creature comforts.
Now, trucks are like rolling vacation spas. When my wife's car was side-swiped, the insurance company gave her a huge new truck as a loaner. It had more electronics, more comfortable seating, and more luxury appointments than our living room.
My main point is that if prices have come down a lot, yet Tesla is now selling fewer cars than before, then it seems like there must be other factors in play besides price.
