"I hope you don't buy it because every time I sell one it costs me $14,000," he is quoted as having said.

Blaming federal and state mandates that push manufacturers to build electric cars, Marchionne said he hoped to sell the minimum number of 500e cars possible. "I will sell the (minimum) of what I need to sell and not one more," Marchionne said of the 500e.
