It was a 10k loss per vehicle but like many new lines the first years are at a loss to get to profit in years 5-7 or more...This is not all material costs either it is a total disbursement of cost in R&D and also marketing...Either way I think they said at the end of the 6 th year the loss per car would be less than $1000 dollars or better. Funny ya never got there guys! This is the quintessential "HALO" car...period!
Nice trivia...There is not a single weld on a kappa based car of meaning that is not hand welded...and each of those are checked off with a marker...
