Well, a production job in the car industry costs about $100,000 a year. (Including overhead of management and HR and more of these ancillaries) so it costs $900,000,000 per year over 150,000 cars => $6,000 per car. The Model 3 on average costs $ 45,000 so that gives $39,000 for producing the car and service and all that. That looks not too bad.
