Time will tell.
That question has been answered, in that consumers are so willing that they are backordered a year.

Bringing out my crystal ball, and based on almost every auto manufacturer jumping into the pool (I assume they checked for water first) I would say prices are going to go DOWN just like every other expensive new technology does as mass production kicks in.

So, the real question is WHEN a consumer wants to jump in, not if. But, that when could easily be 30 years from now. That is up to consumers, not me or anyone else to FORCE them into buying.
