        I feel like some simple demographics data could clear this up. The answer is a lot of people. Like the top 5-10% in developed countries could afford a polestar 2. There are like 120M households in the US alone, so 6 million on the low end? Then there are folks that can’t actually afford cars but buy them anyway (super common in the US too). I personally think spending this much on any car is ridiculous, but I’m a scumbag ebike rider first and an EV enthusiast a distant second.

        Liquid to drop on that or willing to drop that much? No.

        But I’m willing to finance it granted the monthly cost isn’t outrageous.
