$35k is barely above the price of the $32k average car.

In a SHTF situation, you can’t even barter, borrow or steal electricity unless it’s with a generator and some gas.

So, you are stuck. It’s just easier to BBS the gas than it is to BBS gas for a generator.

It’s like I really want 50 million Americans with their little EBT ECars out there getting electricity supplements for charging their eHoopties.

Nope, they can keep them.

Lol. Right. That is what you want them to think. Most Americans can’t afford $35K for a car.

35K will buy me 35 of the cars I normally buy...

I normally get 2 years out of a 1000 dollar car.

I see no use for the model 3.

Cars that start at $35k are indeed entry-level luxury cars. Cadillac, Lexus, BMW, Audi, Infinti, Volvo, Mereces, all have vehicles that start there or less.

I’m actually stunned that there are so many vehicles sold in the $70k-$100k range.

The fact is that $22k cars frequently come with $10k add-ons.

“Average” includes all those upscale vehicles too.
