It's why Tesla makes a lot of money despite not actually having significant sales volume.

Electric cars are far, far simpler to manufacture the ice vehicles, but by positioning them as luxury vehicles he can try to sell a cheaper car made to the lowest spec at luxury prices, and because there wasn't much comparison people haven't known that the margin was just enormous.
