<p>Even if the cars don't sell and the company eats the losses. We seem to forget there are plenty of government policies in effect that help cover those losses. The companies don't lose much from the cost of construction, they do lose potential revenue, but the cost of building the car is actually not that big. When that small loss is recorded, a company can write the losses off and get reimbursed by government... or governments in some cases.<br />
