"The cost of the total cost of the car was $4,000,000."
So what was the cost of the total cost of the cost of the cost of the total cost of the cost of everything?
The supercharged AC was also pretty funny.

This part was funny as hell:
The tablet PC in the car is basically a computer from a F16 jet.

why?
why?
A factory that produces 50,000 lightbulbs can spread the development costs across the 50,000 lightbulbs.

The author is obviously exaggerating, either intentionally or due to having been fed a line in jest and not knowing any better.

Glickenhaus has posted the figure before (on fchat) about how much it costs for the lights and it was right around the price quoted by that author.

I don't take much liking to it either, but I'm sure Glikenhaus thinks it's the coolest thing on the planet...well at least he better!And as far as the headlight pricing goes, I still don't understand how they can cost 1/8 of the total production cost. Even if there was a lot of R&D for it, think of how much went in to R&D for the whole car. It just doesn't make sense...
