When it comes to cars there are cheaper options available aswell than a brand new electric one. I would never pay that much for a car even if I could afford it. That’s almost the price of my house.
Comment on Lucid Motors drops the price of its cheapest EV by more than $8,000

Where do you live that your house is less than $100k? Many would like to know.

105k€, Finland. It’s a tiny 70 year old granny cottage 10 kilometers from the city centre.

Spent about 70s on Zillow and found this 4 bedroom home for under $90k. Finding affordable homes is quite doable. You simply won’t be living in the middle of a city.
And yes, it isn’t a mcmansion or a penthouse apartment. It’s a perfectly livable 4 bedroom home.

This is by no means a “basic” car though.
M500@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
It not just this car though. Everything seems to be going that way.

Possibly, but you moaning that you can’t afford a premium vehicle from a luxury car maker is a bit silly.

He is referring to how everything is becoming premium. A model T in 1916 was $350. Inflation adjusted that’s $11,000. You can’t buy a new car for $11k. Now of course a new car does so much more. But that also means there have been no productivity gains in 100 years to offset the cost of the added features.

The market decided it’s not much of a luxury vehicle either.
