The price isn't absurd.

$12k is a mass production price.

$20k is a cottage industry price.

Guess where they are... they're doing exactly what people were bemoaning Elio didn't do: "Just build the damn thing!" Wait forever so volume production can start up never, or pay more for a low volume hand-built vehicle now and hope they make enough profit to upgrade equipment, suppliers, personnel, facilities later.
