      Carmakers: (High) increase of the selling prices of all cars, gas/EV.

      Consummers: 20k for the simplest car, without options? No thanks, we can’t afford that

      You can get an electric Benz way under 100k, probably half that. 100k is S-class pricing and it has always been this high.

        You made me check, the cheapest I can buy one here is 70k EUR for the EQA:

        EQA is the name of the new entry-level model to the all-electric world of Mercedes-EQ vehicles.

        What a bargain for an entry level model

          Huh, why is no one buying it? It’s so affordable. For the low low price of ones yearly income

            Yearly income is less than 70k for most Europeans. In Denmark the average income is higher, but the rest of Europe is lower, average would probably be less than 40k.

              I know, it’s a joke. But it’s even more of a joke when the ev is double the yearly salery

        Here’s the honest truth though. You hear Benz and you don’t think affordable car. Benz have always been fairly high priced
