If I have cheaper infrastructure offshore, maybe I just keep building my EVs there instead of incurring more cost building factories in the US. And then just charge less by $3750/$7500. :)

Have you seen the Project Highland (new M3) partial reveal? Looks like a mini-roadster, really cool. If I was in the market for a new M3 I'd definitely wait for that one.

Actually, M3 base model goes from $7,500 to $3,750 due to LFP battery.

Knowing Toyota, it might still have some lithium in it.

Hopefully high volume production costs of graphene come down as that is one of those miracle materials science has been touting.

That 150 kWh battery weighs in at only 575KG, about 50% more than my Chevy bolt battery but packing 2.5x kWh. Even with the added weight, probably push me 400 miles at free range highway speeds with the AC blasting.
