I’m not surprised. This is the one big reason I’m still remotely considering a Tesla model 3 performance. Ethically I’m not sure I can justify it, but I’m in the market for something quick, electric, and affordable. And everything I’ve looked at is just a lot more expensive and not quite as quick. Which are the things I’m most interested in.

They may be hoping for an interest rate drop so that overpriced cars are feasible again. The rate hikes definitely put a kink in their “overcharge early adopters” plan.

The Chevy Bolt EUV (the EUV is the slightly larger one) checks all but the quick box. I test drove one recently and it was nice, and affordable. I’m strongly considering it. It’s also built with union labor if you’re interested in supporting that.
