It doesn’t help that their concept cars don’t adhere to a number of mandatory roadway safety regulations, and they are showing off a $30k car that’s made with $150k of materials.

Economies of scale brother. No concept car is ever going cost the same as a manufactured car.

That's not the point. The point is that the concept car was a lie.

Giant class, gull wing doors, dashboard robotics, full dash OLEDs panels. You’re looking features and components that best a Model X / Cyber Truck. If they can get that down to a Honda level price range, that would be dope, but I have my doubts. A lot of things are all features that you get in cars that start at $80k… and this is more elaborate.

And, more importantly, this wouldn’t even be street legal. Mirrors, markers, etc. This was never intended to be what ships.
