Thus making the EVs very expensive… just sayin’
Edit: I don’t know why you are downvoting. These are economic realities as they exist today. More R&D => greater costs => higher price. Fully Automated Luxury Communism is, unfortunately, not a likely reality in our lifetimes.
Then how do any low-cost vehicles ever get developed?
By minimizing costs, including R&D. Further, the lower the price the lower the profit and usually the lower the margin. Companies are not incentivitized to make less money.
This is pretty basic stuff…
If only it were physically possible to change that. Alas, the fifth law of thermodynamics says profit above all.
It is possible to change it, of course, but every attempt thus far has ended in authoritarian political systems with even less opportunity for you to be housed, fed and well cared for, much less able to get things like affordable EVs.
I’m pretty convinced, sadly, that this is mainly because humans basically suck.
