Tesla has an affordable EV
Tesla has an affordable EV too. It's called the Model 3 Standard Range at $35k before destination. Unfortunately no one wants it. Cheaper than the Bolt at $37k.
I think the term "affordable" is irrelevant. If one is looking at EV sales, who cares if the car is expensive or not. The point is to further EV adoption with a practical product. To that Chevy Bolt is #2 but still far behind Tesla Model 3 in units sold.
