Ah, I want one. 50k for the cheapest model doesn't seem that crazy either. I would want to hear some reviews of the 17" touch screen and what kinds of applications you can run on it.
- ams6110 15y ago$50K is IMHO an insane amount of money to spend on a car. I haven't spent more than $9,000 on any car I've bought in the last 15 years. Of course if you have the money and want to spend it that way, I have no objection. I might be there in 5 years to take it off your hands after you've financed the depreciation, depending on how they hold up in real world use.
- wtallis 15y agoYou may have been able to get by with never spending more than $9k on a car, but somebody has to buy the car when it is new. Don't call those people insane when you depend on them to subsidise your vehicle purchases.
- maxerickson 15y agoIt's also unfair to imply a subsidy. Without a market of buyers the seller would end up continuing to use the vehicle or writing off even more of the cost.
- barrkel 15y agoThey're usually not spending 50K on a car. They're investing 50K in the car, and taking a loss when they sell it a few years later. That loss, added to the cost of insurance for damage, theft etc., is what they're really spending on the car. It's still be over $9,000 though.
- breckinloggins 15y agoCars are a lot like watches. There are people who never spend more than $20 for a watch and people who never spend less than $2,000. Neither party can fathom the other.
- Reltair 15y agoI think 50k is still a bit high for their cheapest model. Hopefully they'll be able to offer cheaper models in the 25-30k range in a few years.
