There are new electric cars that are $15,000 cheaper than the model 3. I'm so sick of people looking at electric cars and picking the $50,000+ models as if they were representative of the whole EV market, just pretending the $36,000 models aren't already real.
What BEV is cheaper than the same speced ICE? They are universally more expensive, which carries into the used market. Get the price of BEVs down and you won't have to worry about pricing the lower classes out of a used car in the future by killing the production of inexpensive cars.
Those prices will go down with time, like in about 7 years.
