    The first mobile cost about $4000

    I said a decade ago, not the very first. I also should have said “smartphone”. Powering cars by battery isn’t a brand new technology.

    The original cars cost 30k adjusted for inflation with the cheapest today costing around 15.

    I was responding to a meme that said $15K, not $15K (inflation adjusted).
