That's what the link states, Mel. They're making extreme profits and they don't have to go anywhere else and they don't have to do anything else to have it.  But, in your brain, it's somehow still not easy enough for them. Freakin unbelievable!

Ok, so then tell me, what will that do to the retail cost and manufacturing of electric cars in the future?
