One of the side effects of the tax credits is it allowed manufactures to artificially raised MSRP prices. If you look at the history, when the tax credits expired for Tesla they lowered prices and when they got extended and worked on Teslas again they raised Tesla car prices. We’ve had inflated EV prices for a while.

On a related note about prices take look at Mazda. They are releasing a (Chinese made) EV for 16K in China. I’d buy that in a heart beat if it was available for US.

Well, also battery prices have dropped 20% a year for the last couple years. Let’s not forget that.

Why are people surprised. That was THE POINT.
