    Nope, that’s not affordable.

    i had the same thought and i’m also thinking that i’m going to keep my 15 year old car until it dies in the hopes that i can get those brand new $10k ev’s that people outside the united states can get right now.

      Stuff like this is starting to make its way into automotive youtubers feeds now. I just saw one where he picked up a Model S P85D for like $10k or something crazy because it was “insurance totaled”. The issue was they’d let the battery die in the lot and some idiots didn’t think to charge it.
