So let’s build an unaffordable EV?

They’re saying they don’t care about the cheaper segments and are just going to sell expensive vehicles. I don’t know what those of us who can’t afford 60k vehicles are expected to do for transit though… I suspect this is a ploy to get the American government to subsidize an affordable car range.

We can buy Chinese cars. They are starting to kill it on EV’s, with an already expansive supply chain. It is only a matter of time before they start showing up in the US.

Not that they’re particularly cheap at all, but Polestars are already made in China.

The EX30 is supposed to be sold for ~35k, assuming they're not just straight up lying about it like GM and others.
