    While I agree with your suggestion, the issues with car prices in general isn’t what you stated.

    Every new technology has initial high cost then it will go down over time since manufacturers have the expertise and tools to manufacture.

    Also, patents and corps greed plays a huge role. Why the heck a headlight costs over $2000? And guess what, it has 3 leds that you cannot replace if one fails.

    My sister got into a fender-bender with her 2017 Nissan X-Trail and the dealer quoted $20k. The car price brand new is $26k. The insurance ate it up.
