The main reason they can advertise a cheaper car is that you basically lease the batteries from them... You pay for the car, then lease the battery. I haven't seen if that includes free battery replacements, but it was something like 150/month for an unlimited mileage lease, on top of your finance costs for the car... Sounded like they were going to offer to sell the battery starting in 2024...
so. meh. |

I'm waiting for the crash tests. I'd love to see them do well, but I'm not holding my breath yet.
