The events of this story are bad yes, but I think it's important to point out that the '$33k' figure is using AUD, otherwise known as the weakest dollar. That's a bit under US$21k. Still bad, but obviously not nearly as much.
This is why I will never buy a new car, or an electric car. My celica is the best car, and everyone should get one, like mines. Celicas are waaaaaay better than those pieces of shit electric cars. Oh what's that? Your electric car roof is leaking even though it's way newer than my car? Mines doesn't leak tho. AND! And my car is used so it is less harmful to the environment than a new crummy plastic electric car
