Income Sources

Your factory earns money through two channels: customer orders (guaranteed payment, fixed deadlines) and walk-in buyers (variable prices, immediate payment).

  • Customer Orders: $8,000–$35,000 per car depending on model
  • Walk-in Buyers: ±20% of base price depending on showroom layout
  • Bonus Orders: Premium customers pay 1.5x for luxury models
Early game: prioritize orders for steady income. Late game: keep sales OPEN to maximize walk-in revenue from luxury buyers.

Expenses

Keep track of your running costs to maintain profitability.

Profit Tips

Maximize your profit margin by reducing production time and targeting high-value orders.

  • Upgrade worker skill before adding more workers — skilled workers are 30% faster
  • Time your sales: keep OPEN during peak hours, CLOSED when parking is full
