Model T wasn’t the first car. It was the first mass-market, “Everyman” car. What I’m talking about is a car that pretty much anyone who can afford a car can afford.

I'm fairly certain that Tesla's are way cheaper than the model T was.

It isn't like families could afford multiple cars back then. They were selling less than a million model Ts a years - which would have represented a large segment of the car market.

If the prices here[0] are correct, then the inflation adjusted price of a Model T would be around $7000-$23000, according to this[1].

The Electrobat was at least 30 years after the first electric car. The bat was the first mass produced on that got any traction in the market.
