> The cheapest car Tesla currently sells in the U.S. starts at around $43,000—or $35,500 with a federal tax credit of $7,500.

Curious if anyone knows — do people actually drive off the lot with a Tesla for $35,500?

There is no lot. You click order online and it shows up. Honestly one of the best things Tesla has done for the car industry.

I see a Model 3 Long Range rear wheel drive listed for $42,490 in their new vehicle configurator: https://www.tesla.com/model3/design#overview
