More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.

fuck you NYT, define affordable… Nope, that’s not affordable.
They implicity, but clearly, define it: the same price as gasoline cars.
Also, Become != Are. It even notes, right in the blurb there, that they’re getting there, not that they are there.
i had the same thought and i’m also thinking that i’m going to keep my 15 year old car until it dies in the hopes that i can get those brand new $10k ev’s that people outside the united states can get right now.
Stuff like this is starting to make its way into automotive youtubers feeds now. I just saw one where he picked up a Model S P85D for like $10k or something crazy because it was “insurance totaled”. The issue was they’d let the battery die in the lot and some idiots didn’t think to charge it.
But think about the american car makers that produce a lot of their stuff abroad anyways! Who’s going to stuff their pockets?? God forbid you get cheap chinese EVs!
those will start at ~$25,000.00 if they get sold in the USA.
due to the bonkers high tariffs.
i hope they start building them in mexico.
3rd sentence?
I’ll share the rest because the paywall:
Idk, you can get a used Tesla for like $25k now.
I don’t want a used Tesla, though.
Be careful with those, chances are it’s an old fleet vehicle and those are not always the most well taken care of.
you can buy a brand new one for $10k outside the united states
