I’ve read that too. I don’t think the profit margins are high. I think manufacturing efficiency and volume keeps costs down on the actual cars. It could also be because they have a mandate to supply and stock parts. I’m sure this would be at a huge loss if they didn’t jack up the price.

We use these or ones like these at work. $1200 a piece. They should just buy us iPhones. It would be cheaper. How is that possible? Economies of scale is my best guess. I figure it is a similar situation with cars. Parts might not get the same break. There are higher margins per part because there are more losses across parts.
