The car manufacturers have been going after the top end of the market for obvious reasons - it's the first thing to do when your battery supply and manufacturing capacity and electronic components are or have been limited.
There's got to be a point where that stops working. Perhaps it has arrived more suddenly than expected because of inflation due to ...... natural gas and petrol prices.
As for range, it's obvious that people who drive a lot will get a Return on Investment from an EV sooner than the rest of us and thus they can justify the purchase to themselves. So their demand for range is what is being satisfied. My need is for a car with modest range that I can easily afford - no need for fancy infotainment or acceleration or status. I'm not a good target for car companies till they have satisfied higher profit segments of the market.
