A new Prius MSRPs for $25k and a Model 3 MSRPs for $40k. I don't see how you can say $25k and $40k are basically the same price.

I wonder if a system where keeping a patent active requires paying an exponentially increasing annual fee would help. So anyone could file a patent for say $1,000 in the first year, but then it would cost $2,000, $4,000, $8,000, etc. to kee
