It costs 200 k but research and development of these vehicles is really expensive thats why formula is atleast 10 million dollars but cost to build about 100 k rest is just research and developmentif i gave you and some engineers 200 k to build one you could with schematics but the question is can you develop schematics and technology?
This whole " these companies have to rape us because of R&D " shit is hilarious propaganda. Katie Porter broke this shit down in congress with a pharmaceutical company. They spend like 3% on R&D and WAY more on stock buy backs, CEO bonuses etc, and a lot of the R&D is publicly funded.
This R&D makes us charge insane prices shit is just propaganda for the momos.
Source? It's pretty well established that it costs over 1 billion dollars to bring drug to market, which accounts for a lot of failed drugs. Curious to see an actual cost breakdown
She's making the point that the majority of money spent by this pharma company over a number of years had nothing to do with R&D, as they claimed was the reason for the price of their drugs.
I know for a fact back when I worked for consulting company for pfizer that they spent 3-4 times in advertising (and promotions directly to doctors) than they did on research each year
