      Startup costs need to be softened with a costlier higher margin vehicle. Cannot achieve quality mass production of cars from thin air.

        Right but don’t make vulgar statements about how fabulous you are, and how stupid everyone else is but not buying your fabulous expensive car that’s fabulous and expensive, but that’s fine because you’re a startup.
