Agreed, 40K is too much. The price point needed to be below 30K to make it reasonable.
This is the first generation — buying the first generation of any new model, even when the engine is proven conventional internal combustion technology is a risk.
Besides I don’t like the idea of buying anything from Government Motors, especially knowing the unions that have ruined the US auto industry are now profiting from sales.
ANYBODY WHO BUYS ANYTHING FROM GOVERNMENT MOTORS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION.
