the report is written by battery skeptic Menahem Anderman, organizer of the Advanced Automotive Batteries Conference for the last 20 years.
"Anderman states that there is a high probability that the "low-cost" Tesla model will be priced in excess of $50,000. He said that in the most probable scenario, the car will be priced somewhere in the range of $50,000 to $80,000."

"Dr. Anderman’s insightful report analyzes Tesla’s success to date and forecasts the impact it will have on automakers, battery producers, and the future of the EV industry."
"In the most likely scenario, Anderman writes, 'the price of the 2017 new model will be in the range of $50k-80k.'"
I dont have access to the report itself, as it costs $2800, so I don't know what data points he is using to conclude a price range of $50k-$80k. (man, maybe I should quit my job and start writing battery reports, lol). but I guess the gist of it is that he thinks reaching a $35k is virtually impossible. I hope Elon proves this guy way wrong!
