The price of these cars gets me depressed.
That's... expensive ? The last car I bought new was 17.000€ (12 years ago, a Citroën Berlingo).
The model 3 in Europe is 43.000€.
It's way more practical than a Tesla. Whatever, the Berlingo model now starts at 39.000€ (EV only). That's twice the price I bought mine. My salary has not doubled in 10 years.
The Berlingo can be driven in the rain.
Japan actually has quite a lot of cheap and small EVs in their domestic market, but they don't seem to be interested to export or manufacture them for other market. Chinese companies on the other hand are very eager to fulfill this niche.
