I've read that the wiring harness of a modern ICE car costs more than the transmission.

Do you think it's possible that all we need is ~$100/KWh, after which due to diminishing returns, find better ROI improving other areas like a dramatically cheaper wiring harness?

Yes but its not enough and its not soon enough. Tesla needs to stoke demand this quarter. Humanity needs to be driving toward zero emissions yesterday.

IMHO privately owned electric vehicles will only ever have been a historical oddity of the transition between personally owned cars and shared/pooled cars.
