And that alone would be enough, but add to that the fact that they cost about 100 grand a piece, and yet they are essentially held together with bubblegum and shoestring. Bro, you paid a year's worth of salary for the average middle class person to drive around an ugly, falling-apart piece of shit created by a fascist. Yeah. We're gonna point and laugh at your dumb ass.

$100k is about the average household income in the US, the average single income is about $67k. So about a year and a half of the average wage. And median income is much lower (median household income is about $44k) indicating that high income households have a much larger effect on the average than low income households so the average middle class individual income should also be much lower than the average individual income.

Exactly, the stainless steel "exoskeleton" is glued to plastic and pieces are coming unglued while driving. The towing thing is attached to a cast aluminum frame and multiple people have had it break while towing. It's a terrible car, and most owners are insufferable people.
