I remember when Tesla announced the Model 3 as a sub-$30k car. Since then there have been other EVs hitting that mark, but I still harbor some skepticism whenever prices get announced that far in advance of release. But it's good to see more EVs entering the market!
Fake edit: I looked it up, and Tesla is offering the Model 3 starting at $40k. That's more than 30, but tbh it's not as pricey as I thought it was.
It's pretty close to $30k for the standard range model 3 right now when you factor in $7500 in federal credit + your states local incentives. Several progressive states offer like $2k. Plus a referral program gets you another $500.
Not many EV's fit this category and qualify for the full 7500 credit. More competition the merrier. But with any EV hitting the market I'll believe it when I can touch and feel it in person.
