Did you know electric cars cost their manufacturers money, on every car sold?
Fiat takes a 20,000 dollar loss on every electric 500 (500e)
Chevy loses 9000 on each Bolt
Tesla had a goal of 1500 model 3s, but only made 260. How much did they lose? Don't know. But, 1/6 of your production won't cover the intended profit from losing 5/6s of what you intended to sell.
