The man can't release an affordable electric car, despite it being on his roadmap for over a decade. Cunt isn't releasing an affordable taxi lol

Honestly, taxis don't need to be cheap, they need to be reliable. I'm sure a taxi company would be happy to spend $100k if it meant minimal maintenance and far less staff, since it would pay for itself pretty quickly.

The bigger question is, does it work? I'm guessing the answer to that is... no.

The more I think about the 2 seater taxi that they showed off at this event, the more I think that was originally one of the prototypes for the affordable car.
