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
"luxury" is a few hundred dollars in farkles suckers pay thousands for.
I think you replied to the wrong person.
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.
