  50k is not mass market.

    Exactly.

    We don’t need 50K “challengers” to Tesla.

    We need 20K challengers that real peoole might be able to afford.

      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.

      20k and lol like actual cars (sedans). The bubbly, hatchback-like design of most EVs are ugly AF.

      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.

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

      Hyundai is working on it

      www.teslarati.com/…/amp/

      I am guessing it will be more of a i10 or i20 sized car

    Mass market means mass production. Have they proven capable of that yet?

  Didn’t they go bankrupt?

    Bankrupt doesn’t always mean done. It sometimes means financial reorganization.

    Fisker did, but they’re back anyway.

    No, it didn’t go bankrupt. It’s trading as LCID on Nasdaq.
