reporter: the model has a three sticker price of about $50,000 according to munro.mates the car would cost about $34,700 to build. that means a gross profit margin of 30%, but there is a catch. munro leaves it would cost that much to build if it was built at a conventional car factory. the model three was built at a tesla's factory where they employ 10,000 people and robotics. the cost of labor and estimation is high. >> 35% or 40% of the people would disappear from the factory. based on what i know about car plants, and that would have to happen after they strip out a lot of the robots. had this product been built in a conventional ford, toyota, or whoever kind of plant, this thing would have had a brilliant design. it would've entered the marketplace in an unbelievable fashion. they could have clobbered everybody. no one would have been able to get a job. reporter: they are excited by the model three factory developed through panasonic which gives more range than anything in the market. >> what they have put together for making the battery module is a brilliant pi
