    That’s… expensive ? The last car I bought new was 17.000€ (12 years ago, a Citroën Berlingo).

    The model 3 in Europe is 43.000€.

        And that sounds like a much lower quality car.

        It’s way more practical than a Tesla. Whatever, the Berlingo model now starts at 39.000€ (EV only). That’s twice the price I bought mine. My salary has not doubled in 10 years.
