If you scaled objects physically by cost relative to a reference object, you could make some interesting graphics. For eg if the object is an iPhone ($1000, 6”), a $20,000 sedan would be about 12’ which is about right. So average value/unit volume is about the same.

Find that a lot of industrial equipment fits a similar model. Complexity, optics, computing, high-speed motion components… irrelevant. Just kilos.

Otoh… a mining tire can be $100,000… a car tire $150 say. It’s not 1000x smaller, more like 10x. So volume effects distort low volume industrial things
