I skimmed the article too quickly and didn't notice they are discounting the initial orders.

$17k is too much for a 17 kWh EV considering you can buy a used Leaf with more range and presumably more features and interior volume for much less.

EDIT: Lol, they are advertising features like "door ajar warning" and "airbags". These really are stripped down vehicles with a top speed of 63 MPH.
