They are the highest margin because EVs are still supply limited. How smart people think that margin will survive once there is competition amazes me.

Nobody thinks it will.

However Tesla makes about $9000 in profit per car. If that is cut in half it still beats Toyota’s $1200 by a wide margin.

I don't see why it would only cut in half, as opposed to settling on a profit margin similar to Toyota's (although it will be higher in dollars because it will be a percentage of the retail price).
