But....but....but.....taxes! This is the first vehicle ever sold that did not somehow magically include local/state taxes in their national advertising campaign. Add in the fact that many states will credit you the value of a trade-in against the taxes charged on the new vehicle. Trade something in that is worth 30k? Might only pay 10 bucks in tax on your Fathom. But sure, Ford is being so slimy with this one.
Hard sarcasm.

I kinda can't blame the folks that are jaded by past history and experiences with the slimy side of the automotive industry.
But the consumer is winning a few battles these days too and now there are dealerships of most brands that have established themselves as no nonsense and gathered public following for such.
I don't think it a stretch to think it will absolutely be possible to acquire a Fathom for "less than $30k, +TTL, as long as you don't mind taking delivery some distance from home.
And while it's true that once you break the $40K barrier, there are a lot more EV options, there's nothing currently at $30k that is pure EV, and a truck, and can carry more than 2 people. Even at $40k there isn't.
Now used, it's a different story of course
