Goddamnit, why wasn't this a thing 3 years ago, when we were LOOKING for an EV in this price-range?

    Because the industry is consolidated enough that it’s possible for them ignore consumer preference and focus on high margin, low capital investment projects to pump stock values.

    Now there is a set of new competitors not beholden to the pressure of the US/Japanese/European/Korean stock markets that are threatening to take massive market share, (Chinese EV companies).
