* The car manufacturer: Some manufacturers have more automated processes than others.
* The specific car model: More complex cars require more specialized labor.
* The manufacturing location: Labor practices and automation levels differ across countries.
* How you define "make a car": Do you include everyone involved in the supply chain (raw material extraction, parts manufacturing, etc.) or just those directly assembling the vehicle?
Estimates range from hundreds to thousands. While a single assembly line worker might only assemble a small portion, the entire process involves designers, engineers, parts suppliers, logistics personnel, and many more. Considering the entire supply chain, the number easily reaches the thousands.
