You can buy any of a number of EVs for quite a bit less than 50K. And they'd be replacing an equivalent ICEV that's going to be replaced anyway, for a use case that will not 100% be replaceable by public transit.
Comparing the US to Hong Kong is severely biased. Though it does explain why many people on HN are so delusional about what problems public transit can and cannot solve. Even in Europe, which everyone says has much better public transit than the US, the vast majority of people own cars. They're useful, and denying that just destroys the pro-transit argument before it can even be made.
