"Starting at $2,199"

Freedom isn't free, apparently.

Not if you care about externalities, it isn't.
It's not (just) because of externalities that that model costs 2199 USD.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but what else is included in that cost, in your opinion?
Economies of scale / specialized production / labor costs / higher margins on "premium" production lines.
It has to be usable.
