    I buy what my meager wage allows me to afford…

    Make an EV that competes on price with a Corolla and I’ll be there.

      Yeah, big words from rivian. Trucks that cost more than a luxury SUV.

      Even then. My Corolla cost under $15k brand new off the lot. It’s not the base model either. The base model for the 23 Corolla is almost $22k. Car prices are insane.

        The only new car still sold in the US for under $20k is the Mitsubishi Mirage, and even that model will likely be phased out in the next few years. I also wouldn’t recommend buying one, as, speaking from experience, it tends to roll over in a slight breeze.
