It's also up to $15k in tax credits and lower prices from Tesla, makes a huge difference when they're affordable.

During the last century, automakers had a habit of putting all kinds of crazy engines in their cars in an attempt to get more sales, and they usually they tend to ended in failure.

I don't think they ever expected the technology to actually be feasible, let alone get government and public support.

Dealer knows they are in a good spot and not looking to move them any faster. I heard ppl waiting a year for their Ioniq. Things are changing market wise so I hope things change in your favor.

That station is always an outlier and not at all representative of prices in LA. Right across the street from that place they sell gas for a normal price.

Everyone in LA laughs every time someone references that gas station because it's clearly either a trap (for tourists/rental cars on an expense account) or a front for a mob.

Just as an example, right now gas prices are around the $5.00-5.40 range (5.40 for premium).

That gas station is currently at $6.60/gal for regular. There's a chevron right down the street for $5.15/gal
