| Is it really capex though? New models are being constantly trained, released at least quarterly, while old ones become obsolete. Training costs vary, but never disappear. |

| This also includes revenue sharing with distribution partners, which should probably be in COGS. |

| Isn't training necessary for the end-product? How is it not a cost to generate the output if you can't generate the output without having done the training? Seems more like saying that a car is profitable product when you don't have to account for the steel that its made from. Seems completely disingenuous. |

In your car example the training is much like setting up the manufacturing line. I think the issue here is that the capex depreciates super fast since the models obsolete really fast. | |
