I also read that Bugatti is gonna be losing $400K on each one it sells because of production costs.

They might lose $400k on each car but they'll recoup that in a few weeks in service charges can you say $10,000 oil change?

Dear owner,

Your car emailed us to let us know you have used full throttle 10 times now. Per our service contract, you are required to come in for a service.

If you ignore this, we will put the car on auto-drive and have it return automatically to the service center.

-Thank You

on the serious.. GM cars already do this.. kinda scares me

Yeah, but they're not under contract to have it service, it's just a heads up kinda thing.
