minus-square@ramsgrl909@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink38•4 days agoI am excited, this is what my husband and I have been waiting for - a regular vehicle with no bells and whistles just to raise the price
minus-square@Tillman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink15•4 days agoFun fact, this isn’t $20K but that’s what it takes to get people, to share the article. The actual arrival says that it’s $20K after government rebates in the US. So it’s actually expensive without tax dollars.
minus-square@futatorius@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•2 days agoMore to the point, you can’t rely on the US government to continue rebates for EVs unless the manufacturer is owned by Musk.
minus-square@TBi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•3 days agoI wonder how much petrol/diesel would cost if the government didn’t subsidise it. And if they were actually held liable for oil spills.

minus-square@ramsgrl909@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•3 days agoI’m at least glad it’s not yet another bigger truck. I just want a vehicle to get from A to B that can actually fit things in the bed
minus-square@Lemming_Observer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•4 days agoYup! And hopefully starts a new thing that other makers get behind!
