They're just raking off the suckers.
While the electric car is certainly not a new product, a cool electric car is!
The price is always higher at first. By Zeus I paid $1200.00 for the parts to build my first 486! Let the Wealthy GOPS be bled for the cash to reward its developers.
We all know we need an electric two seater with enough range to get to work and back without recharging and a price tag in the $5000.00 range.
For that to happen, the fat boys are going to have to soak up the cost of research and development.
And, given the way new technologies seem to turn up fast as Asian knock-offs, how long will it be until everyone knows the Tesla's secrets.
I just hope they haven't attached my favorite real life mad scientists name to a cr*ppy car!
