$800 million worth is giving a lot of value to something they can barely give away. Maybe $800K worth of material after the cost of dismantling.

They really should use the number of units. If Musk cranks the price from 80k to 120k, they suddenly have $1.2B sitting there? It's the same 10,000 ugly-ass pieces of shit.

The $800m figure is only useful for figuring out how much Tesla was expecting to make out of it. When you factor in the development and manufacturing costs, they're hemorrhaging money.

$800 million according to labor theory of value. 0$ million according to subjective theory of value

Yeah, a better number would be how much it cost to build the fuckers. I'm assuming they also need ongoing maintenance while they sit around rusting.
