50k is not mass market.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 54 points 10 months ago

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.

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

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

Who cares?! Affordable, Safe, Enough range, Enough space, Comfy.

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

Cheapest tesla is 50k so target price is right

[-] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] akilou@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Didn't they go bankrupt?

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

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

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Fisker did, but they're back anyway.

[-] poopkins@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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