That's your hint


Forget the politics, and if one has to ask the price... well you know the line. Porsche took the project as a showcase, not caring about the price and it's just for the lucky few. The buyer pays a substantial sales tax but really, do most of us even have to care about the few of them?

This is an amazing piece of technology coming to reality and its great.
