I bet they will lose $$ on every single one of them. It would be interesting to find out what is the breakeven point (how many they will need to sell to recover invested funds)? I just don't see the business case at all. Being an engineer, this looks more like an experiment than a final product. It does not have any break-thru features or capabilities yet it cost an arm and a leg and actually it appears that it will be inconvenient to operate due to range limit.
For now, if I needed a small commuter vehicle that is fun to drive, give me GTI TD any day over this at 1/2 the cost. It will take another 10 years or so for Tesla, BMW etc to develop electric vehicles that make sense. The battery technology is killing it right now.
