Well maybe if this guy sold an electric car that people could afford, they would buy it

Startup costs need to be softened with a costlier higher margin vehicle. Cannot achieve quality mass production of cars from thin air.

Right but don't make vulgar statements about how fabulous you are, and how stupid everyone else is but not buying your fabulous expensive car that's fabulous and expensive, but that's fine because you're a startup.

The comment is taken out of context if you'd maybe read the article. It's a comparison between a Suburban and Rivian who are in the same bracket.
