  • Yes.The Pure (base) is $72,000 delivered, plagued with issues, and subsidized so heavily the company lost $1 billion in the last quarter alone. This is reflected in some of the highest replacement parts costs in the industry rivaling ultra luxury manufacturers like Bentley. It is why residual retention is so poor even by EV standards.
