The quoted comment especially mentions that the PRICE doesn't include the performance upgrades because they couldn't be visually confirmed. The quoted comment is out of context and clearly was about the price mentioned by the Saleen representative.

If the car would indeed have a cut gear, which the article simply says couldn't be confirmed (not that it wasn't there or that it was), then the price discrepancy would be even greater and making the author's point even more valid.

Some of Frederic's were silly at best. How on earth can you confirm cut gearing just by looking at the body kit? Huh??

Is Saleen lying in order to sell its version of the Tesla Model S?

All the following prices are according to Saleen’s published price sheet.

The only work done to the display car that we could visually confirmed were the body kit ($152,000 including stock P85 from Tesla), the Saleen interior ($13,300), the new brakes ($14,500) and the Colorlab paint job ($25,000) for a total of $204,800. This already doesn’t match the $194,000 figure given by Saleen’s representative and it doesn’t include all the performance options such as the new spur-gear ($6,200), new locking differential ($6,200), Saleen’s stability control system ($2,500) and new suspension ($6,000) which would bring the grand total to $225,700 or $31,700 more than the MSRP confirmed by Saleen’s representative

Also why would the author need to mention another body kit that has nothing to do with Saleen? Competition was clearly not the subject of the article, nor was its price compared to competition, but rather how does the price mentioned by the representative matches the actual configuration of the car.

Why even talk about the Saleen Tesla other than to Pump the SLNN stock. The fact is that the Saleen Tesla will never be a product line. Meaning that there is not enough volume to justify a production line and tune the dozens of Tesla's required to make a profit. Building one at a time is a joke of a business plan.
Think of all the engineering and vendor support just to produce a one off product. Saleen cannot make any money with Tesla's. The only reason they launched this ridiculous idea was to try and catch the coat tails of Elon Musk and Tesla's stock. Think about a muscle car tuner calling a conference to announce that he was going to conquer the EV High Performance Market. Saleen had $7K in the bank at the time of the widely publicized event. This was a show to try a bail Saleen out of heavy debt and little investor interest. Saleen Tesla's are just a waste of everyone's time and the shareholders money.
