    • It's still $70k lol... maybe $40k and they'll sell like hotcakes or until they solve for the $40k dead battery = car is overnight only worth $10 paradoxprophetone
    • When the batteries are $5-10k and the size of a suitcase so can be popped in and out like an EV motorcycle the tide will shift but for now...prophetone
    • The other issue is the looming China EV market and it's cars that are all over social media that are built great, look great and half the price or 1/3 of priceprophetone
    • There are still tons of poorly built EV from china. Might looks great on paper, but what you get is different.pango
    • Well sure some are not going to be good, some are, but Tesla itself is scrutinized for it's build quality, panels popping off Cybertrucks, plasticsprophetone
    • But point is fine, just charge what it's worth vs inflated costs... seems in China the competition atmosphere keeps prices reasonableprophetone
    • If US/Canada market suddenly focused on consumer needs and opened the market up we'd see $25k EV's all over the place hereprophetone
    • And also $30k ice trucks to boot as well, like smaller Toyota options seen in Australia, Asia... trucks here are ridiculous at $65k-150kprophetone
