And it's going to cost more than US$30k, I'm sure.

You are way off dude, it is more like $45,000 :). When posting this, I had no idea it would be this expensive. And the price is not readily available either. I had to search for quite some time to come up with a ballpark figure.

What? Add wireless and a few features and the price jumps by 15k? Wasn't expecting that.
