Don’t forget they could barely build a few thousand of the tank. Hard to sell at a meaningful volume if you can’t build the things.

2023 year to eat Subaru has sold over 120,000 Foresters to date. That’s their third best selling model and 25% of their volume. Of course they are going to keep marketing it.

Do we really need the range if we have the charging infrastructure and efficiency? Personally, I’d prefer a significantly cheaper car that can go 300 miles on a 40 kWh battery and can be easily recharged in 10-15 minutes than something more expensive that can run 500 miles. But maybe I’m in the minority in that I live near a city and barely ever drive more than 50 miles in a day.
