The price of the update from D-Premier was heavily weighted by the R&D cost. Boards don't cost that much to make in themselves, it is the R&D, design and tooling that costs the money.
Typically in the industries I know the bill of materials cost is about 10% of retail, the rest is R&D, design, tooling, marketing and profit.
More is spent per unit on advertising a car worldwide than making it, for example.
Since I have spent around £42,000 on Devialets so far I hope they take into account my personal contribution to their R&D budget, but I won't really expect it.
