It’s fair to consider the inventory of used cars (and used car prices) when evaluating the universe of mobility options.
This thing is basically an ultra premium electric golf cart. It will serve certain purposes far better than a Nissan Leaf, and some purposes significantly worse. Same with comparing it to a cargo e-bike capable of hauling kids in the back.
And maybe it will have enough adoption (and associated network of parts, knowledge base for maintenance and repair) to where a 10-year-old example sitting out in the world in 2036 will serve as an affordable option for someone else in that particular moment.

It’s unfair to compare Mexico’s EV industry plans to Japan’s EV industry plans from 20 years ago.
