@mimsical I am sympathetic Christopher, but I'm afraid the high median purchase price actually reflects a group choice.

Many perfectly good cars are available under $30,000*. When people don't buy them, let alone the micromobility options, they are voting with .. their right foot so to speak.

I personally consider it awful that Rivian's most recent innovation is not a smaller more efficient truck, but instead a 1000 hp version.

* - conventional, hybrid, electric all available under that price
