- selectodude 7y agoToyota is the most profitable large car manufacturer on a per-vehicle basis and they make under $3,000 per car. Tesla needs to manufacture a few million more cars and not lose another penny before they recoup that investment.
- cma 7y agoTesla charges $7,000 for full self-driving vaporware, and has already recognized a huge portion of it, even though they haven't delivered practically any of the value of it (they claimed your car would appreciate by over $100,000 when it entered the robotaxi fleet this year). More than Toyota's whole margin, they spent a lot on it but recently cut R&D significantly even though they aren't close. Maybe with the latest fundraising round they will increase R&D again and deliver before the cars that were bundled with it are falling apart.
