This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it.
But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote.

US domestic auto manufacturers have long disliked making affordable cars. The profit margins are too low.
Meanwhile, even luxury goods in other commodities has been outsourced to China and other 'developing' countries. That there is still a US auto industry at all is a matter of macho national pride and its very profitable military production side.
