so 75KWH worth ( like a Tesla ) would be about $40,000.

so if you subtract the cost of batteries and power electronics Tesla is basically giving the car away for free.

i thought the point of business was to make profits not engage in charity.

another way to think about this is that the drivetrain ( battery, motors and power electronics ) consume most of the cost in a Tesla. the car is just a cheap wrapper for the drivetrain.

whereas in a normal car it's the other way. you pay for the car itself, and the drivetrain is just there to move the car around.
