Price should be assessed beyond a list figure: financing, service, resale expectations and total cost of use can all affect perceived value.

Political questions can include policy direction for transport and industrial activity; economic questions can test consumer affordability, fleet budgets, financing conditions and input-cost volatility. Social analysis considers changing mobility expectations, while technological analysis addresses software, connectivity, batteries and driver-assistance development.
