Yeah but how much of a discount? The example in question was already assuming $50k per car which is already a tremendous discount. Even if you cut it in half again to $25k (which there's no way the price per car is that low) that's still $2.5B in cars. That's insanity.

Depends on how this is structured, if it's say 33k cars on a five year lease, renewable twice that's ~2.5B over 15 years. Also, Uber has a huge and arguably inflated market cap, so if they get this deal in exchange for stock it could be very valuable to them in the short and long term.
