Currently you can buy a Model 3 for ~$33k or less in the US. That's ~$10k less than the average new car price, for what could be considered a "luxury car".

Pricing is not the (only) problem.

Thought that image was of a rad Winamp equalizer at first. Was disappointed.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Earlier this week, we learned of an effort by some auto dealers to pump the brakes on the US government's electric vehicle adoption goals.

EVs are sitting too long on dealership lots, they say, and the public just isn't ready to switch.

But the industry has some work to do if it wants to smoothly transition from those early adopters to the "early majority" phase, and JD Power's advice sounds a lot like what we constantly hear in the comments: build smaller, cheaper EVs.

And mainstream customers have to pay a lot more for the privilege of going electric; an EV powertrain only adds about $4,000 to the price of a comparable premium SUV, but the gap between a mass market compact crossover and one with an internal combustion engine is around $18,000.

Like it or not, EV buyers have some legitimate concerns not shared by people buying conventionally powered vehicles.

"The sooner EV stakeholders focus on consumer education and significant investment in EV charging infrastructure, the sooner mass market consumers will follow," JD Power said.

Aptera should be a pretty great option
