The car starts at about €45k, about the same price as a Tesla Model 3!

Isn’t Tesla’s price point closer to $40-50k though?

eddtries Dec 7, 2023 View on HN

The Tesla Model 3 is like $75k out here so it's not much more!

alphabettsy Feb 7, 2021 View on HN

Just like the Model 3 is $35k ;)

inemesitaffia Dec 11, 2023 View on HN

Isn't the model 3 around that price?

Rebelgecko Mar 16, 2023 View on HN

What electric cars with comparable range have a better price?

TheHappyOddish Dec 4, 2022 View on HN

LCT is over $85k for EVe, so it doesn't fit into that territory.A model 3 standard is $60k and the savings for most people on fuel is why you see them everywhere.MG have a car for $45k that fits your requrements though.

Also Tesla’s are in the $40-$50k range now.

Is that the US? Pricing can be weird depending on region. In AU a leaf starts at $50K, a model3 at $60K, not much difference really. The cheapest here actually is the MG at 45K. But more competitors are starting to ramp so I expect prices will drop across the board as EV becomes a commodity.
