Your comments seem to be non-sequiturs to me. You stated "The lack of affordable daily driver EVs is what's slowing down adoption here in the US."

So why do you think the two most affordable EV options in the US were discontinued? I don't think it's because they were flying out of the showrooms.

There's also Leaf, and here again it's ignored like it never existed.

I suspect what these people actually wants is 2024 Mediocrity, which Leaf, Bolt, Mini Cooper, etc., are not as they're all hatchbacks, which isn't the mentally defaultest style of a automobile, but Tesla is.
