Nope. The best selling Tesla, at well over 100,000 units this year alone, is the Model 3, at around $50k. Or, only $5k more than a CVO.

(Oh, and it's "cliques" and "Porsche." Sorry.)

yea...I'm typing one handed tonight hence the crappy grammar. I get what yor saying. I just see the clique **** at cars and coffee all the time. I think harley will sell more of the live wire to the model s and whatever the suv is called crowd. I think people will buy it. I know that the model three is more reasonable.

I absolutely agree that the "green" and trendy crowd are the target audience for the Livewire. Unfortunately, I don't think the "Bar and Shield" logo will appeal to that group, at all.

Yep, it’s done even before it’s gone to market and at 30K Well, I wouldn’t get it if it was 20.

Someone at mother ship HD sure ain’t listening to their fan base.

My wife doesn't ride. Well, with me occasionally. Her dad, who is my regular riding buddy, has been riding, without a gap, for almost 70 years. Started on a '34 Indian. So, she's very familiar with riding, and with Harleys. Here's her take on the Livewire:

"I think that Harley is being run by dope-smoking hippies."

And there you have it.
