I am sure that TM is going to be using the same sensors
Not based on the specs out there for the 16000M and the the info that's supposedly been leaked.
There's not a lot you buy (especially in any sort of consumer goods industry) where the price you pay isn't 4 to 8 times the actual production line unit cost (plus a percentage of R&D). Most of the time each step in the distribution chain marks up the price 50-100% depending on various factors...and usually leaning towards 100.
That's how companies come up with "suggested retail prices" - they know what they're gonna sell it for and generally know how much it gets marked up at each step along the way.
Actually...I'm oversimplifying and exaggerating a touch there...The manufacturers price to broker/distributor is probably right around 35-40% of the MSRP, give or take.
