Very, very expensive. The cost I believe would be the highest, you dont even mention, which is the Research and Development of all the electronics that would be needed. Plus licensing costs of parts you get from other companies, costs to buy all the required parts, costs to manufacture, costs of factories to produce, etc. Very expensive.
