Sell 1,000 at $100,000 = $1,000,000,000sherm03;1418670 wrote:Not only that, I would guess the ideal thing would be to produce them at a reasonable enough price that courses would be willing to replace their fleet of carts with these. If they are too costly, that will never happen.
or sell 100,000 at $5,000 = $500,000,000
Sometimes it's better to have a luxury item sold at a luxury price.

Sometimes it's better to have a luxury item sold at a luxury price.
Regular golf carts are more than $5,000. And I'd have to assume if they were to sell to as many golf courses as possible, it would be much more than 100,000 units sold.
There's close to 8,000 public golf courses alone in the US. If they could replace the fleets (usually around 50 per course) at only half of these courses...that amounts to 200,000 units. That's not even taking into account the nearly 8,000 private/semi-private golf courses (of which I think they would be able to sell to a higher percentage than just 50% of the courses).
So sell 200,000 at $10,000 = $2,000,000,000
