If you read the article you’d see that he said that in the context of buying a Chevy Suburban in 2030. Suburbans start at $77k, so I don’t think his comment is that out of line.
It's not, of course it's not.
But we know that legacy Reddit users never even bothered to read the articles anyway. Hurray! I missed-- not.
Yeah but it's still a fair comment because the cars are too expensive for anyone to buy The battery compared to another car that's too expensive to buy doesn't really make any difference.
Because the thing about expensive gas powered cars is there's also not expensive gas powered cars. So he's comparing expensive electric cars to variable price gas powered cars.
Wait wait wait, you mean theres more to this story than the title?
Shooketh.
I usually dont bother to read articles, because they are seo garbage. I glance at top comments written by true people to verify info instead
That context is great, but I haven't seen any articles about the Chevy CEO saying such astoundingly tone deaf shit. 🤔 maybe the price isn't what's inflammatory.
