I was joking, they aren't cheap, they're average priced for a subpar car. The Ford Maverick is $25,000, a whopping $10,000 cheaper than the Model 3.

Edit: I'm stupid, I thought the Ford Maverick was the EV model. It's in fact the Ford Lightning, which starts at $50,000. Teslas are in fact cheap.

Are you comparing the price of an EV to a gas powered car? Thats a pretty unrealistic comparison.

I dont disagree its a subpar car in terms of quality, but for an EV its a really good price.

Why are you comparing a compact Tesla to Ford trucks? Teslas are definitely expensive. And the model 3 isn't $35k, it's more like $50k.
