We’re not even in the “Model T era” of EVs yet. The landscape is still evolving and will become more available and accessible to more people.
- dv_dt 5y agoI’d argue we are just in the era of the Model T with Tesla’s model 3.
- indymike 5y agoI'd argue the model t of electric vehicles was the Electrobat in 1894. EVs came before gas, and the ICE hit the pause button for a century on EV progress.
- baron816 5y agoModel T wasn’t the first car. It was the first mass-market, “Everyman” car. What I’m talking about is a car that pretty much anyone who can afford a car can afford.
- BB212 5y agoI'm fairly certain that Tesla's are way cheaper than the model T was. It isn't like families could afford multiple cars back then. They were selling less than a million model Ts a years - which would have represented a large segment of the car market.
- jwalton 5y agoIf the prices here[0] are correct, then the inflation adjusted price of a Model T would be around $7000-$23000, according to this[1].

- indymike 5y agoThe Electrobat was at least 30 years after the first electric car. The bat was the first mass produced on that got any traction in the market.
