For some reason US manufacturers can’t make a $35k EV.
But other car manufacturers can and do so. They can be bought outside the US and are a huge reason why Tesla is struggling so badly. It is not just China as well, but also Hyundai and European companies. The only reason Tesla is still doing well, is that Trumps tariffs protect Tesla from those non US competitors.
And I own one of those because fascism, not because of price. I assure you it was more expensive than a Tesla, before Trump and his tariffs.
Not everything has to be black and white. Tesla (and Elon) did some good in making EVs mainstream and common. Now Elon is openly a Nazi. Both can be true.

Chevrolet sells a $35k one and a $28k one.
