For most people EV are still too expensive or inconvenient [1] and they don&amp;#x27;t want to buy a new ICE car or start a 5y leasing on a car they may soon not be allowed to use wherever they want.[2] Also they fear they won&amp;#x27;t be able to resell it. It makes more sense to keep that old, already well depreciated old car or buy a fairly recent second hand ICE, hybrid or EV that has already depreciated a lot.&lt;p&gt;My only non muscular vehicle right now is an ICE motorbike. There is no way I can afford an EV car and I don&amp;#x27;t want to deal with an ICE car I won&amp;#x27;t be able to sell for more than scrap value when EV prices will go down.&lt;p&gt;[1] if don&amp;#x27;t have parking space at home.&lt;p&gt;[2] many big cities have started banning diesel cars in center, will probably do the same for gasoline soon. ICE cars will soon become unsellable.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jancsika</author><text>Translation: luxury vehicles are the future of car sales.&lt;p&gt;Model Y is 2 times as expensive as a Corolla.&lt;p&gt;Plus you can go and find an older Corolla with 100k+ miles on it and pay perhaps $5k cash for it, then drive it for another 50-100k.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t see people in the service industry picking up a used Tesla, now or in the foreseeable future.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Tesla Model Y overtakes Corolla to be world’s best-selling car in 2023</title><url>https://thedriven.io/2023/05/26/tesla-model-y-overtakes-corolla-to-be-worlds-best-selling-car-in-2023/</url></story>

You can&amp;#x27;t even get a USED Tesla for under $20K.&lt;p&gt;The second problem is charging.
