Aprox $35,000 less than a comparable Tesla.

The price point is way off, but strangely enough I've personally been champing at the bit for something with pretty much exactly those specs,just at about half the price.

Currently, I daily drive an SUV and do get good use out of it. I have to commute in the snow (essential employee,) I have outdoorsy hobbies that require hauling people and camping gear around, I tow some small trailers, I use it pretty frequently to move furniture, pick up lumber and other bulky stuff from the hardware store, etc. and while I don't go off-roading in the sense that I don't purposely go looking for rocks to climb and mud to drive through for fun, I do sometimes drive onto a beach to fish or drive onto fields for various reasons, and find myself on some really shitty dirt roads where some ground clearance and 4wd are necessary. I'm doing those things usually a few times a month.

But most of my daily driving adds up to 20 miles a day or less, on paved roads, rarely going over 45mph. I also have a wonky schedule where I rarely have to work more than 3 days in a row, and it's usually just me and occasionally my wife or my dog (rarely both at the same time)

I can't quite afford 2 cars, but something like this at the right price point would probably tip the scales in my favor. I could daily drive the small cheap electric car and save my SUV (or maybe a small truck) for my days off when I'm doing stuff that it's needed for while the small car charges.

Ahh yes that’s true I forgot that, while that not a highway speed it is perfectly fine for city, most cities max speed is around 40/60 km/h in Mexico. The designof the car is purely for inside city.

Still need to pass safety tests and all that stuff

"Musk Says" has to be the biggest reddest of all red flags anyone has ever put up.

He says all sorts of stuff, I'm pretty sure by his schedule we should have colonized mars by now.

Tesalsalitos

Something people don't consider is that lighter cars can have better ranges with smaller batteries. That also means it doesn't take as long to charge the batteries when you stop somewhere for lunch. The Aptera is the only EV that's light enough to get away with pure solar charging for most use cases. An aluminum beetle with solar covering the roof might be close as well.

You mean like the softwood lumber dispute that's been going on for over 40 years where the US has put illegal tariffs on Canadian softwood exports? The one where they've been found in breach of the agreement multiple times and still haven't fixed it?

Yeah, I'm sure they would never put tariffs on Mexican electric cars to protect their own auto industries.

USMCA, like I'd you coughed while orgasming.
