I saw it too. Functional vs. non functional didn't seem to effect price as much as you would think.
People were paying insane amounts of money for EV afew years ago. But it seems the mass produced EVs very quickly saturated the EV market.
I thought sales of new EVs were going to be a lot better than they are now but I didn't expect the price to be as high.
