>at $20.000USD it's to much.
Tell me you haven't purchased a vehicle in the current millennium, without telling me?
>15.000USD for the extend range version
Buy a used one in 2035 with 80k miles?

I bought a new car (EV) 3 years ago. $20K is too much for a 150m range truck, though I probably still wouldn't buy a 150m truck for $15K.
Nissan is still selling 2,300 LEAFs in the U.S. per quarter, with a much worse charging story.

Thing is, it's not even really a $20k truck. It's a ~$30k truck, with some federal rebates available to some buyers.
If it was a legit $20k truck/SUV, it would make a fine replacement for my wife's current car (at least by usage requirements, but not even close by style/luxury demands).

I have, and I think they are way to expensive for the use I get. My issue is that $20.000 quickly becomes $30.000 once my government is done with adding taxes. I drive a 12 year old car, original price was ~25.000USD. It's going to be around 30.000USD to replace it, once it dies. The price difference between getting an extremely bare bones car vs. one from a known brand, in colour, with better range going to be negligible I fear.
