Hooking up an engine to a generator, which recharge the batteries, which drive the car, and making several thousands of them a year, in a robotic factory, with a 10/150k mile warranty, for under 40k....
Tesla cant do that.
I didnt say Tesla COULD make them for under $40k a year, the point is there is NO new technology in this car at all. All the parts are basically the same as any other hybrid, just arranged in a different order. It comes down to how well can GM do it all? Just like any other new car they come out with.
