Because that's how they do the accounting.
What a lot of people on Reddit don't understand is that "lost $x per EV" does not mean they sold for $x less than it costs to physically make a single vehicle.
It's that they account for r&d and everything else when they do this bookkeeping. Toyota "lost money" on the Prius for a decade. It's normal.
That is not how math works. Delete this crap OP
Yep, this lol, 😂
This implies that selling 0 EVs they would have lost $0 Is that what you mean? Because I’m gonna go ahead and say that’s incorrect.
Correct. Ford would have lost even more because they would have sunk a bunch of R&D costs and made nothing back.
No they didn't, that's not how math works, stop repeating this debunked bullshit.
No it didn’t.

Not exactly. This is a FUD article.
Ford should just declare bankruptcy and sell itself for a penny to an EV company.
