The big 3 used to need to sell something like 1/2 million cars before covering R&D costs. But that was also back in the 60-70s when they sold a million cars a year and designed it all on paper.

The cyber truck’s design was so stupid that it may have approached that level of r&d costs. Since bonding and forming such thick Stainless steel isn’t trivial.
