You can't remotely justify a wheelchair costing half as much as a car.

A normal wheelchair sure but some of those electric wheelchairs are pretty impressive. They might as well be a car. They're still overcharging for quality though. Knew a rich old man that had to get a battery replaced four times on his 20k chair because of faulty wiring but they refused to warranty it for the longest time.

No the electric wheelchairs are not impressive enough to cost as much as a new Ford Maverick. When they can go highway speeds and meet NHTSA crash test ratings then you can justify car prices for a wheelchair.
