    To create an affordable EV vehicle at a price that still allows the company to make money will take time and resources invested in creating the infostructure to do so. The people at the helm of the company now will not be there when this comes to fruition so there is no motivation for them to reduce their company profits for something that will hurt them during their tenure.

      The switch to EVs will have winners and losers, companies that are run like this will probably fall within the loser camp.

              Wow, so I must’ve dreamed all those road trips I’ve take in my i4. And I guess I’ll dream the one I’m taking on Friday, too.

                Enjoy your long ass charging breaks if you can find a public charger that works. Where do you put the 4 kids and dogs? The roof?
