Not expecting at cost price but also not expecting 100% markup

100% markup is pretty much the standard for options when buying cars.

There's also the value of the better battery warranty of the LR vs. the SR.

And faster charging.

55 kWh x $190 = $10450

If the SR's battery truly costs $10,500 then it isn't unreasonable that they can sell for a profit at $35,000. That leaves $25,000 for the rest of the car (including the motor) along with some kind of profit.

LR also has faster acceleration (~0.5 seconds 0-60MPH). This plus previously mentioned benefits adds up to extra cost the market is willing to bear?
