I'm sure a few people will finally get the opportunity to buy a $40k Y, but as I've repeated, it will be at least a year after the initial launch. Besides all that, $40k is a heck of a lot of money for a vehicle. I've bought 4-unit property for $62k.

My guess is we are still at least a decade out from EVs being sold in quantities large enough to severely impact ICE sales.
A report by one analyst,was that ICE and EV would intersect in 2025,at price parity.That was pre-Trump,and with the roll-back on CAFE,this inflexion point could move.
And as the climate movie reels on towards the next act,there may be additional emphasis on a quicker transition away from pistons.
If I was in the proper demographic,I don't see how I could justify $60,000 for a Shelby Mustang,when I could get a lot of contemporary EV for less money.
