Price by the pound works OK for boats, where the material/process is more uniform, cars not so much.
Just look at what a jetski costs, the latest low-cost one is $5,000 (more like $6k). That is way easier to make and much less parts than a car,
and has no crash testing, airbags, so forget using that as a reason for high costs.
The cheapest high volume car is $13k Removing a wheel doesn't cut the cost by 25%, but even if it did, that is still $10k.
