*$45K. Either way, there are a lot of people in the US who are paying >$60K for vehicles with internal combustion engines, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but $50k is the current average price for a new car in the US.

The R2 starts at $45k, which isn't a bad price for a luxury SUV.

They're also planning a more affordable R3.

Its not that luxury, the $45k trim. But its a good price for a medium size modern SUV EV

Average price is a meaningless number. Median price is far lower.

You need to look at what people spend, not average Corollas and Rolls Royces.

Median price includes used. We're not talking about a used R2.

R2 45-50k trims don’t actually arrive until next year

50K is comparable to a similarly sized ICE truck.
