    Ford could put all their R&D money into developing low-cost EVs,

    Thus making the EVs very expensive… just sayin’

    Edit: I don’t know why you are downvoting. These are economic realities as they exist today. More R&D => greater costs => higher price. Fully Automated Luxury Communism is, unfortunately, not a likely reality in our lifetimes.

        By minimizing costs, including R&D. Further, the lower the price the lower the profit and usually the lower the margin. Companies are not incentivitized to make less money.

        This is pretty basic stuff…

          If only it were physically possible to change that. Alas, the fifth law of thermodynamics says profit above all.
