Approaching a million, I would imagine.

That's what the Model S costs if you bring it over. So probably half that. Maybe 2/3rds.

If Musk really wants to do what Hitler did & give us a genuine affordable people's car, he'd slap a electric motor & battery pack into one of these puppies..

It is expected to be $37,500. So yeah, it is in the middle range. Although, with importing it, the price will jump quite a bit here

I would honestly buy a Mahindra e2o if they sold them here. If they bring us electric cars that sell for below R200k and carry a subsidy (paid for by CO2 tax) I am sure we will see plenty more of them on the road.

I doubt it. I do not think poor people care as much about carbon emissions as wealthier people.
I do not believe there is much of a market for electric cars in the poorer population (As by definition they are more expensive than petrol/diesel cars)
