Great example, and yet somehow the masses transitioned to iPhones from Nokia when they found that the product was superior, without any government mandates or subsidies on iPhones required!
Imagine! Consumer choice can create market changes!
So you are saying without $7500, EV sale would be zero? Ok.
Without massive government interference, EV sales would be zero. I think we can all agree, Tesla wouldn’t even exist, right? Musk says that, so why shouldn’t we trust him? And if major manufacturers like Ford tell us that they are losing $33.5K on every EV they sell, and they have all the numbers to back that up in their earnings reports that are scrutinized by law, why should we believe they are lying?
Lets say, just for the sake of argument, that vehicle manufacturers actually make cars because they want profit (crazy, but hear me out). So if Ford increased their EV prices by say $40K to get the same profits they enjoy on ICE vehicles and then consumers had to add another $7.5K to the price, do you still think they would spend nearly $48K more for the electric version of a vehicle?
My guess is nuh-uh, and if nobody is buying them then no one would be making them, and sales would be zero.
No kidding. For years Nokia was more popular than iPhones too… And everyone was buying Kodak film camera as well…

I mean what do I even say to people like you? LMAO.
