    Looks like any modern assembly vehicle plant; but I did notice the rats nest around the 4 cylinder engine just prior to installation. Looks similar the the San Antonio Tacoma plant I visited several years ago.

    I've talked to someone who used to setup the assembly lines for the different manufacturers.
    Fascinating machines. He said the Mustang plant, 80s/90s, was NASTY... rats running around.

    Was told that Toyota moves people from station to station to lessen repetitive motion. That last robot looked like it was doing quality control.

    Would like to compare to a Tacoma line but i can only find very short length vids. To see movement time, quality control, worker's activities.

    I use to work at a small plant that made the power seat assemblies for Ford. What went out the door just to get the numbers for the day was shameful.

    Ford is doing their part to rid the world of the chrome left on this planet.

    Ford truck people are very simple, shiny things attract their species. If you go into their homes, EVERYTHING is chrome. The knobs on the stovetop, light switches, outlet covers. They have a unique perineal gland in their brain that doesn’t recognize tackiness or simplicity, which leads to chromed everything. Ford knows this, and honestly, it’s exploitive.
