    That’s a great explanation for why it costs that much, but not for why they think it’s a good idea to sell it for that price.

    Other companies first build a prototype and gather investment so that they can build a first 1000 (not 60) units and can reach a price that can be attractive for the market. Or build first a niche, super exclusive product so that the lack of economies of scale doesn’t matter as much.

    In here I just can’t see the value proposition really. For half the price I can buy something like a Renault Twizy or Citroen Ami with similar size, twice the speed, twice the range, and still zero emissions. Plus I don’t have to pedal, and I get a radio. Why would I ever want this?
