Are there any new ICE vehicles currently selling in the US for less than $20k? I'd expect the Model 2 to be priced at least at $30k.

- devoutsalsa 3y agoThere are some low end Nissans, Kias, and Mitsubishis on cars.com for sub-19k USD as of right now.

Tesla is aiming for a much lower cost to produce... they've stated 50% COGS of the Model 3, which would put its cost at about $18000 USD. Their goal is to achieve > 20% gross margin, which would still be achievable at a selling price of $25K USD.

- heartbreak 3y agoA base model Nissan Versa is $15k MSRP. They have other models in that range. Or you can get a new Toyota Corolla for $21k MSRP, which is close enough.

- heartbreak 3y agoWhy am I pricing the gas in LA? Most car buyers do not live in LA.
- tharkun__ 3y agoWith how the Hoover dam and others are looking as well as taking into account a rising number of people that will want to charge EVs, maybe you want to do some scenarios around electricity pricing as well.

- nytesky 3y agoAs more and more cars become electric, wouldn’t the price of gas also drop in the next decade?
- heresie-dabord 3y agoHeavy industrial demand won't change. And let's not expect the petrostate cartel to make the transition away from their product to be an easy one.
- htag 3y ago1. Less than a handful. $25k brings several options. 2. To effectively be a $20k car EVs have an advantage because of their tax subsidies. {Base Price} - {Tax Credit} < $20,000 is plausible. It's impossible to say who will qualify or how big of a tax credit US customers will have by the time this would launch.
