The whole point of scaling up is to get production numbers up high enough which will drive the costs down, making them more affordable, which in turn will increase potential customers.
If these wheels are affordable for Ford to use then all the high end sports car manufacturers can use them to, if they choose too.
As I said, it's a long game.
But keep going trying to cut them down.
You didn't answer the part about only joining up to talk them down. Do you have a personal issue with CR? |
re any claims about the costs or just wild guesses that they'll bring them down sufficiently. They havent given any figures on this. any ideas on the cost of capital to do so. its not free....
The default option for the GT500 is not carbon wheels. It is an option only. Blanket assumptions being made there- that everyone will adopt this, as Ford clearly hasnt adopted them(its not default).
re talk em down - just think people should be cautious making overly optimistic claims is all.
re competitors are coming. Also in talks with numerous OEMs.
