The $800m figure is only useful for figuring out how much Tesla was expecting to make out of it. When you factor in the development and manufacturing costs, they’re hemorrhaging money.
They really should use the number of units. If Musk cranks the price from 80k to 120k, they suddenly have $1.2B sitting there? It’s the same 10,000 ugly-ass pieces of shit.
$800 million worth is giving a lot of value to something they can barely give away. Maybe $800K worth of material after the cost of dismantling.
$800 million according to labor theory of value. 0$ million according to subjective theory of value

Yeah, a better number would be how much it cost to build the fuckers. I’m assuming they also need ongoing maintenance while they sit around rusting.
There’s a reason just in time manufacturing took over the world. Storage is expensive.
