Yeah, but then the car makers profit margin would be 99% instead of 100%. Gotta sell us deregulated stuff so they can make big bucks

    Car companies publish their profits, and they're well under 20%

    edit: The official SEC fllings are a little dense for me, but Ford's investor slides for 2026 Q1 show an 8.1% EBIT margin. That includes all corporate overhead as well though. If you're talking vehicle manufacture price vs sell price, that will be higher
