That cost might only take in materials and manufacturing costs. It might not include packaging and shipping, etc., but still. I read somewhere that the 3G iPhone has a margin of over 50%.
If a product as complex as an SUV can net companies as much as $10,000 to $20,000 per unit, is it that far fetched to see as high as 50% margin on an electronics device?
