Pebble Cars - Product Creation for Economics

Energy efficiency and road safety are major concerns and areas of focus for auto industries around the world as well as the consumers purchasing these products. A new addition of Pebble cars to society to address such concerns; Pebble cars, a new plastic exterior vehicle with an electric motor and bubble shape, have been created to ensure maximum energy conservation and safety, as well as, minimal pollution and accidents. The round, bubble shape holds two layers: the exterior being made of a durable and rebounding plastic, while the interior is able to protect and be comforting to the passengers. Both plastics handle temperature, weather and collision well; in fact, if hit by an object, the outer plastic will bounce safely and with the roller coaster-type seat belts and locked storage units, even if the vehicle were to flip, no exterior damage would be done to the person's, belongings or car itself. Being of reasonable price, Pebble cars bring a near future of lesser deaths and pollution due to vehicles.

Containing similar features as vehicles now, Pebble cars differ in frame and design.The outer, hard plastic, produced as plastic in NASA shuttles, is approximately $1,000 while the inner plastic is $500. The design and frame are included in the $1,000 cost of the outer plastic, meaning the doors and axles are made at the same time. The storage material, console, and control panel also being made of plastic are a total of $250. The control panel coming with the steering device, temperature controls, automatic locks, and mirror dials; the automatic locks would include the doors and storage area.The electric engine would come to $6,000 in price to include all the features of electric cars, such as an electric motor and a large battery, which will be able to be charged at gas stations. Finally, there are extra additions and tweaks that may be added, such as: a Radio ($100), Aux cord and Radio ($120), Aux Cord with a CD Player and Radio ($200), GPS ($300), Sensors ($150), Cloth seats ($100), Wool seats ($150), Vinyl seats ($250), Leather seats ($300), Painted exterior plastic ($250), Tinted window effect ($350), and a Tint/Color Bundle ($575), which all may be customized and installed with the Pebble company prior to purchase. The final price for a minimal car would be $9,620 without tax, whereas the most expensive with the most expensive features would be $15,545. In the state of Tennessee, the approximate sale price range would be $15,496-$17,060; similarly, Pebble cars are available worldwide for higher prices due to shipment to simply dealerships due to factories and production only being in the United States.

While there is no guarantee, Pebble intends to be strictly a “Made in the USA” company. Establishing factories throughout the nation, Pebble would ensure good-paying jobs to the American people. For production alone, factory workers would be paid $18 an hour, supervisors/materials handlers $20 an hour, maintenance technicians $22 an hour, and mechanical engineers $30 an hour. With high paying rates to guarantee happy workers, thus, quality production, Pebble wishes to maintain high class standards for their employees. Making a total profit of approximately $4,500 on each Pebble vehicle, if 1 million cars were sold as Electric cars are averagely, annually sold, Pebble would make over a $6 billion profit; which would go into paying employees, improvements of design, and marketing.

The average middle class American will be able to afford this car due to even at its highest price being at a generally cheap price for any other car. Pebble cars conserving energy, being pollutant free, and warranting safety, consumers would love this product. This particular model of Pebble would only be a two seater car, although, a four seater is available at a more expensive price; however, there will be opportunities for family deals. The obvious competitors being primarily electric cars, Pebble vehicles are the greatest editions out at the moment; including customization, greater safety, all while being best for the environment as well as the consumer, it is the ultimate vehicle made.
