Ah, the infamous "pick two from three", with the choices thrown together to win a point.
But... there are plenty of cheap, small, large production ICE cars. And we've been told that EVs are less complicated, with the president of Ford, last week, claiming they take 1/2 the labour to build.
There is no reason this three cannot exist together. None.
- EvanAnderson 4y agoI assume there isn’t enough gross margin on small cheap cars and consumers have shown they’ll just buy the larger, more margin-filled alternatives.

None. Mineral resources to make the batteries? Why do you think that Tesla has a waiting period of months.
- b112 4y agoIf there are, then why are you complaining that they "won't sell them to you"? I complained about no such thing. Mineral resources to make the batteries? Why do you think that Tesla has a waiting period of months. Certainly not for this reason. Telsa has always been months, even years behind on deliveries.
- SyzygistSix 4y agoI agree but they are two very different products despite both being cars. And expecting a new company to scale to the size needed to produce cheap vehicles en masse in an economically sustainable way is unrealistic and unfair as a criticism. Even the largest car companies are finding it difficult. The three will exist together, like the Corolla, Camry etc. But it will take a while to scale up to that. People are expecting Rome to be built in a day and whining because it isn't.
