minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink38•2 months agoI am excited, this is what my husband and I have been waiting for - a regular vehicle with no bells and whistles just to raise the price

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•2 months agoFun fact, this isn’t $20K but that’s what it takes to get people, to share the article. The actual arrival says that it’s $20K after government rebates in the US. So it’s actually expensive without tax dollars.
