Chevy Spark supposedly starts at $13600, available inventory seems to start at $14595 + tax, title license and fees. I have never bought a new car so I don't know the + part, but that's got to be getting close to $20k.

If you have a decent older car you can get $5k at a dealer bringing the price down to $10k, tax/tag/title and you’re likely looking at $13k

Ya, the horrible thing is that I’ve never seen a Tesla used for under $20k. Until we can get some used Tesla vehicles at economical price points, EVs will just not be mainstream.

Ok, there is some sarcasm in that. You can get a Leaf for cheap.
