That’s why I asked a question instead of just saying the price was dumb. Did I, in fact, miss some aspect of this thing that makes it worth $700? If so I’d like to know specifics, not guesses.
I’m not assuming anything, I’m wondering what makes it so much more expensive than other products in this space, since the article (and the “Introdicing Otto” article I also found) don’t explain it at all.
- solarkraft 9y agoExpensive cars aren't usually worth their prices either. Maybe they tried to pull a similar thing.
- mikeash 9y agoThe manufacturer will at least attempt to justify the price based on what’s better about the car.
- ryanbrunner 9y agoExpensive cars are "worth" their prices as a status symbol though (as silly as you may find that, I think it's undeniable that's most of what's supporting high sticker prices on cars). A door lock doesn't have that advantage, save maybe a quick "let me show off my cool gizmo" thing at a party or something.
