Reply to comment by Waaypoint in Ford says EV unit losing billions, should be seen as startup by EW234

Basically, the top comment in this thread, they lost money because overpriced? If I'm on a 6 months waiting list, kind of seems like they are underpriced, which could be a real reason you lose money on something.

Yep, and the production cost goes down as soon as you use enough of the more expensive infrastructure to build units; set-up, development, purchasing new machines, building new processes have a steeper initial cost than you would pay to maintain their operation. It is a whole new platform with entirely new equipment and processes.

Most of the objections against EVs are not based on how they are performing in the market, their desirability, and the ROI over time.
