$39k is all carbon fiber special built version for people who support the effort.
Yours would be $3,900. What do you mean by complexity? An EV does need a tranmission to transmit the motor rotation to the wheels, and a differential for going around corners, and a reverse gear to go backwards, and a gear reduction to increase motor rpm. All quite useful features for 45lbs.
