Relative production cost of Tesla vs BMW


Tesla:
5,112M (cost of revenues) + 930M (operating expenses) = 6,042M
Cost of production per vehicle: 6,042M/97,186 = 62,169
BMW:
21,958M (cost of revenues) + 2,263M (operating expenses) = 24,221M
Cost of production per vehicle: 24,221M/613,361 = 39,489
62,169/39,489 = 157.4%

If double production:
Suppose interest rate on bank loans remains the same.
Suppose current factory capacity can be doubled without adding more production lines
or factories (which obviously is not true).
Suppose the sale price remains the same.
Tesla:
5,112M *2 (cost of revenues) + 930M (operating expenses) = 11,154M
Cost of production per vehicle: 11,154M/(97186*2) = 57,385
BMW:
21,958M (cost of revenues) + 2,263M (operating expenses) = 24,221M
Cost of production per vehicle: 24,221M/613,361 = 39,489
57,385/39,489 = 145.3%
