With all those missing of basic features why is it still 20k and not 10k?

Because you can't sell a car for 10k in the US without losing money.

I never bought a car for more than 10k. Seems like a huge waste of money.

... are you complaining that the price of a new vehicle is higher than the price of a used vehicle?

We're talking about new cars not used ones. Wait a few years and you'll be able to get one of these for 10k too. It makes no sense to discuss used car prices when talking about how much a new one costs.
