Fun math, assuming 3 million man hours to design, test, and bring a car to production and 35 hours to build the actual car, a 200k unit run would work out to 50 hours per car.
Why would it be only 35 hours though. It starts with people mining the raw resources, producing the raw parts, and includes transport on every step of the way. I estimate it’s at least 1000s of hours. 35 maybe is enough to account for assembly alone.

If we get into value added along the chain then yeah. I was assuming the company or whoever had already paid out the suppliers.
Ah yes, absolutely no other things go into making a car—the workers just shit the metal out
With sparkles! It’s illustrative. I’m not doing an analysis of the entire supply ecosystem for a one sentence post.
