20k and lol like actual cars (sedans). The bubbly, hatchback-like design of most EVs are ugly AF.
Comment on Lucid’s $50,000 Tesla Challenger Under Development, CEO Suggests

We don’t need 50K “challengers” to Tesla.
We need 20K challengers that real peoole might be able to afford.

Not gonna happen until battery prices come wayyyy down.
Tesla is the only one that could do it but they won’t. Too much demand.
Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 6 months ago
There are plenty of cars coming out of China at that price point. With decent range figures too.
helenslunch@feddit.nl 6 months ago
Because China has zero safety or intellectual property regulations.

That doesn’t stop them from existing, or being highly competitive. It’s up to western and Japanese car makers to compete rather than pretend it’s not happening.
The cars also pass NCAP/ANCAP testing with 5 stars.

“working on” a car is not the same thing as selling a car…
kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Well you said tesla is the only one that can do it,and they are not, I reckon they are the one of the companies that can’t do it because they need big margins to expand

One would expect increasing the number of cars sold should drive economies of scale nine manufacturing.
helenslunch@feddit.nl 6 months ago
To an extent, yes. But at this point there’s a production shortage and they can’t even make enough as it is. So it would actually cost MORE money to increase supply.
kent_eh@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Presumably increasing demand should lead to ramping up of production over time, as it has in the past for pretty much everything

Mass market options exist, but everyone laughs at Leafs and Bolts.

Cheapest tesla is 50k so target price is right
nave@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
Cheapest Tesla is the base Model 3 at 39k.
Serinus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Does that have autopilot or FSD?
nave@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
It has traffic aware cruise control that keeps the car in the same lane but FSD is a 10k upgrade.
kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Hyundai is working on it
I am guessing it will be more of a i10 or i20 sized car

Can you even buy a new ICE car for $20.000? Last time I was looking for a car a 5 year old Citroen berlingo cost around that. What can you get for 20.000? A basic Toyota yaris? Hybrid yaris costs <30k but I feel like when Americans say they want $20.000 electric car they mean electric SUV with 600km range. Yeah, that’s not happening.
