    I mean, I want one but that’s still unaffordable for me and like, a vast majority of people. Beautiful car, though.

      It’s like we are entering an economy where you are either rich and can afford basic things like a car and house or you are poor and feel like you are being kept out of this world.

    Let me know when someone makes a convertible sports coupe/roadster EV with more than 400bhp for under $30K (and not made by Tesla). That’s when I’ll start shopping for an electric vehicle. I’m so fed up with all these boring sedans and SUVs with only three “color” options: black, white, and gray.

    Also, my HOA will have to install chargers in my condo complex as well, cause I refuse to be like those rich idiots who have to sit in a parking garage for hours at a time while they wait for their Tesla to charge.
