so we know that labor cost are in the $2,200 -2,500 range from an earlier post.
Here is a quote from an article I saw today avout the Ford F-150 truck sales.
THis quote was towards the end of the article, the quote referes to andaverage per vehicle produced, not just the trucks
"Ford cut spending on marketing promotions per vehicle 16 percent in this year’s first half to an average $2,736, according to Autodata, which found smaller increases by General Motors Co. to $3,427 and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV to $3,277."
When you talk about making and selling things, many people have no idea what the true costs are to bring an item to market. Especially in the manufacturing end.
Claiming 'they can use an older model where all the design cost are already covered" ignores how companies work. Each item/vehicle produced has to carry it's share of existing overhead costs.
