but I suspect that the people working in the TV factory do not find that the TVs are cheaper than finding a local plasterer I wonder whether this is true of Tesla factories in the USA? If you have a very badly wrecked Tesla with some valuable salvageable parts, would it be cheaper to buy a new Tesla or to pay someone to replace the 80% of parts that need replacing. I suspect the new one would be cheaper. Automation and economies of scale matter, not just labour costs.
