      Wealth inequality is growing worldwide, many of us cannot afford higher priced products when it comes to large purchases like cars and that’s not going to change anytime soon.

      A phone as a luxury good, yeah it’s expensive but do-able. A non-cheap EV is like 10x the price of a phone however.
