How does it save money?

Assembly lines save money by making cars much faster and more efficiently. Instead of one person building a whole car, each worker does a small, repetitive task as the car moves along. This reduces labour costs and the time it takes to produce each vehicle, making cars like the Model T, and eventually Ford's new electric vehicles, more affordable for everyone.
