Yes, but what are the manufacturing costs for one of those? There's some pretty fancy parts in there (custom wheels, custom motors, fully redundant electronics separated by fiber, etc.) that certainly can't be cheap. Not to mention that they probably spent a very large amount on the R&D...

I was actually shocked at how low the number was. 20,000 over 4 years doesn't seem like very many.
