organize $0.5-1 bn in funding (<1 % of deere market cap, seemed reasonable given the cost per unit and r&d time to develop a whole new automotive platform)

did i get that right?
cause i think your definition of “something actionable” is a bit far-fetched.
now its fair to say “well didn’t john deere do that?” and the answer is…well, probably no, but lets say yes. Fortunately john deere got to do it without another john deere in the room, which complicates things.

You’re incorrect with your item number one, as far as being able to take an invention from the drawing board to actual product ready to be sold.
Under the right conditions it can be done for a lot less is what you’ve stated.
I am “incorrect” with an extreme hypothetical estimate?
on the one hand, :o !!!
on the other hand, where is your plan to replace john deere on, say, $150m (you said a lot less than 500m, so im picking 150 as ‘a lot less’)
