No, but they still cost more. When you're selling cars at a massive scale, marginal gains add up. It's why Ford killed people with the Pinto's explosive gas tank to save $11 per car. It's why Tesla doesn't include a gauge cluster, turn signal stalk, or gear selector in the Model 3. It's why new cars seem to never include spare tires anymore. Marginal gains at a massive scale are massive gains.
