Big difference. A 100lk Ferrari doesn't cost the manufacturer
anywhere near 100k to produce and their whole company premise is to
sell very few and very expensive cars. The electrics cost GM 100k to
produce so they had no profit and GM is set up to sell a bunch of
moderately priced cars. If you think this market exist why aren't you
out raising capital and building it yourself?
