$GM: Lost $1.7 billion on its EV business in 2023
Tesla $TSLA: Generates an average gross profit of $8,431 per car
Rivian $RIVN: Sells its EV for over $80,000 on average, but loses more than $33,000 on every EV it sells

and all this even before the threat of super cheap Chinese EVs.

and you expect lithium suppliers to thrive under this condition?

I have seen those losses by Ford reported elsewhere but IMO there must be some creative accounting or a typo happening somewhere because $132K per EV just isn't realistic. I can understand some losses when developing a new product but that is just ridiculous.

So now Ford's losses per vehicle have more than halved, they are still fairly high but at least believable.
