Arthur was dumbfounded, having forgotten that cars were currently handcrafted, resulting in high labor and time costs for production.
Common cars on the market typically cost hundreds of pounds, and more advanced cars like the Victor Dea were nearly 200 pounds.
However, the cost of a car was much more than this. Since each part of a handcrafted car varies in size and shape, maintenance costs and time increase significantly.
It was also due to handcrafting that the stability of the cars was not very good, and they were prone to frequent issues.
Consequently, the potential of cars far exceeded horse carriages, but these factors have prevented their global popularization.
"Mr. Benz, I know of a new car production method that might solve the problems of production cost and construction time," Arthur said, looking at the downcast faces of the two men.
"Really? Your Highness, what is the method?" As expected, the dispirited duo perked up and eagerly asked Arthur for details.
