Early Findings
The Tesla Model 3 costed a total of $28,000 to build ($18,000 for materials and
$10,000
for labor and production).
Tesla’s Model 3 has
~10,000
individual parts.
The European New Car Assessment Program (
Euro NCAP
) is the European equivalent to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (
NHTSA
) test database.
Euro NCAP rated the
Toyota Prius
as one of the top 3 safest cars in Europe. It received the highest score for child protection (43 points).
surfaceink[sic], an engineering company focused on product development, estimates that product design generally takes
6-12 weeks
and that building and testing takes approximately 20-26 weeks.
Time-saving strategies for
assembly design
include using and reusing components, making component copies, isolating components, and moving parts by building them in components.
Tips for
better engineering drawings
to save time and money include consolidating call-outs when multiples of the same feature exist in a view, and providing the supplier and parts number on the drawing when hardware installation is required.
