Is that seriously a tile floor? And their stuff is rolling across that on casters? Wonder how well that works.

Nice looking factory though. And nice cars.

Probably works damn well because the Production Center was designed around the way/process the car is built; not like your typical way of designing a Production Facility first & then making the cars.

Its so clean - which is probably a part of their high standards in workflow. I'd say this is a part of the price you pay when you buy one of these vehicles.
