I think it is a perfect example, the people complaining most about EV prices are USED car buyers that would never buy a new one anyway.
(something I could say about myself until an EV made me buy my 2nd new car ever)
Many current EV owners are people who have never owned a new car, interesting statistic that tells me that EVs are attracting a different kind of car buyer. One that would normally either
1. Buy used
2. Buy a truck/suv
By the numbers, new car buyers typically just buy a Suburban, Ford F150 or Dodge Ram crewcab and don't even notice cars.
People who normally buy used buy the most new cars and are apart of a different demographic than the "New car buyers" who buy mostly trucks and SUVs.
Next Think Norway went bankrupt before 1 car was even out the door at Think US, so the manufacturer was out of business before market adoption could be determined, but I have to guess that the think was "overpriced" at its initial price point but we can't really know since it was amazing they could sell out their inventory at all, from an out of business company selling an unsupported car.
How often does a company that no longer exists sell all its inventory to new car buyers?
Just food for thought, is the real problem that evs are cars
