What’s the Cleverest Cost-Cutting by Car Manufacturers?
[OC] We all know manufacturers cut costs in different ways—be it removing a simple feature, using cheaper materials, or sharing parts across models. Some cost-cutting moves are painfully obvious (looking at you, missing rear wipers on a ₹15L car), while others are so clever that most buyers don’t even realize they exist. One classic example is using a single wiper instead of two—cheaper, fewer moving parts, and often works just as well. Another is offering wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto but removing the wired option—saving on USB hardware while making it sound like an "upgrade." Now, let’s hear from you—what do you think is *or can be* the most clever cost-cutting measure? Something that reduces costs but doesn’t really hinder usability or affect the overall experience?
