50% margins aren't that high for a "cutting edge" low volume product.

Civic cars are high volume with an established market and consumer base.

Not everything is an apples to apples comparison.

I'll never buy one because I use Arch BTW, but there needs to be a profit incentive for new tech to be developed, otherwise we get rehashes of the same old same old.
