They won’t because they know they don’t need to. The auto industry just got a huge PR boost through the whole UAW affair. They’ll leverage that position to lobby the government to continue the same protectionist policies that are already in place and if you don’t like it you can eat shit. Everyone wins, but you and the rich get richer selling you $42,999 MSRP (plus dealer tip) crossovers loaded with features that nobody asked for!
Is it weird that I’m considering a Mexican citizenship? I mean it cones with a small truck that is actually useful for $15k, AND I can get more first world EV.
Don’t forget the features that people do want for safety and such are locked behind premium tiers too. But we can have Sirius XM ads and OnStar giving our data to insurance companies without consent.
LoL at the dealer tip. Even if the used market sucks, it’ll always be a better experience then buying at a stealership. The entire process is trash start to finish.
Beginning of covid was probably the best time to buy new through my entire life and I don’t ever see that situation ever coming back throughout the rest of my life.
People seem to but them tho…
They could be buying coroals or accords
i mean, there are already cmpanies making ones at a lower price down the line (Rivian’s R3 target price is 35000) so saying 42999 is already being sort of dishonest.
If Rivian can pull that off with the R3, it’ll be my next car. It would be great. I’m not betting on it.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Just 6 years ago you could get a crossover for 20k.
