Yes but the XL1 tech will end up in a steelie at some point, when it does expect a moderately high MPG sleeper at a much more human price point.

Also what do you care what it costs, you will never be able to buy one anyway, unless you live in one specific place and have the cash and credentials to get one of the 50 units.
