Considering the effort required to ship materials to the factory. The cost of lighting and heating. Molding/shaping of parts, machining, welding, chemically treating. Then painting, and disposal of contaminated waste. Transport of cars to dealers. And transport of staff to and from work place. Really you think that statement is false ?
I know it is.

Do you have evidence to site of it being as you claimed?
