I’d love to know how much it costs to build each cybertruck, and visualise the other revenue loss of storing these, designing the machinery to build this shit and anything other costs that were factored into sales.
The big 3 used to need to sell something like 1/2 million cars before covering R&D costs. But that was also back in the 60-70s when they sold a million cars a year and designed it all on paper.
The cyber truck’s design was so stupid that it may have approached that level of r&d costs. Since bonding and forming such thick Stainless steel isn’t trivial.
-$800 million those weren’t free to build.
