The $25k car is going extinct?

Completely unmentioned: Chinese EVs are $10k worldwide except USA.

The Seagull (aka "Dolphin Surf" in other countries) seems to cost 18560 GBP in the UK, or 11.780€ in Spain. Haven't checked out other countries, but clearly "Chinese EVs (BYD Seagull/Dolphin Surf/Dolphin Mini) are $10k worldwide except USA" isn't 100% correct.

Seems fine to leave something like that unmentioned, as a quick check reveals it not to be true at all.

but I'm guessing those are post tax prices .. While in the US prices are pre-tax

So if you saw the pretax figures it'd probably be true

> So if you saw the pretax figures it'd probably be true

But why would I look at the pretax figures? Who would look at that, unless you're doing a business purchase? It basically has no meaning for the average person since they'll never buy anything without the taxes anyways.

Others are sharing the sales tax rates by state, which is not the same as the auto sales tax rate by state, which is typically lower. Notably, there are a few states with no auto sales tax.

People have been known to cross state lines to purchase cars, to save a few hundred dollars on the purchase. In any case, a $10k vehicle is not going to cost over $11k post-tax in any state.
