Why is it so expensive?

Is it cost of production being passed on or did the marketing department decide to do some "prestige" pricing?




Batteries? Assuming a $150/kwh cost for batteries, that would be $14,700 for a 98 kwh pack, or $19,650 for a 131 kwh pack. I think the rumor is that GM is hoping to hit ~$100 for their batteries in 2025. It will be a game changer once batteries get below $50/kwh. And some Chinese batteries are getting close.
