Look at Dacia in Europe, they are exactly that. Maybe not crank windows, not sure.

It would be very expensive to have a lower make of car with the hand crank in it. And the electrical crap is super cheap now, so you are certainly correct.

It is weird that China can make a car for $8k USD. And Tesla, here in Canada, dropped their prices by $20k because it made very little sense to buy them here.

Canadians stopped buying swasticars for rather obvious reasons.
