S650 Mustang Assembly Plant Video @ Flat Rock

[DeluxeStang]

Ewww, touch a nerve? LOL It's a flippin factory, nothing to get that excited over. They've been around for over 100 years. Calm down.

People aren't allowed to be excited or passionate now? Personally, I find it cool that they're getting excited over learning about something so many of us find to be mundane.

YouTube isnt his full time job if he has 60k subscribers.

Exactly, part time at best, probably mostly a passion project.

Yeah, just something to have fun with.

Yea, he probably works at an Autozone checking batteries for S650 owners who think he is more qualified than an ASE certified mechanic ...

If you've never been inside of an assembly plant, it is an absolutely amazing experience -- especially when line is running.

Here are the front and rear windshields being installed by fully automated robots in a Ford F150 at DTP a few years back. This was my truck being built.

Ive been to Mercedes and VW group in Germany, Similar concepts more sophisticated technology etc. The Mercedes factory had very strict rules with cameras that a small group who been told three times during the session no photography then were approached by 4 private security and asked to hand over their devices and passports and they took them away possibly into a interview room. I suspect they were spies. I remember seeing one of the 4 in that group was always rejoining the group as if he wondered off many times that raised my suspension.

No "private security" is taking my property, especially my passport. They do not have that authority.

Perhaps I should rephrase, they are private police a law enforcement agencies owned and/or controlled by non-government entities.

They're looking for industrial espionage, not tourists.

I'm assuming they were touring Wolfsburg. There's a large state police station (Polizei Wolfsburg-Helmstedt) just over the bridge South of the factory. They involve police for those incidents.

EDIT - Sorry, looks like it's Stuttgart, so you'd be heading 5km NW of the Mercedes-Benz plant to the police headquarters

Yes we were in Wolfsburg AutoStadt for VW but Mercedes is in Stuttgart. Autostadt was amazing they had inside the property their own butcher, groceries store and a pharmacy all for the convenience of the employees. Also fire station !

If that was within the last couple of days then one of those white ones could be mine!!

The Grabber blue one you showed was probably mine it looks just like my performance premium. I checked every box to make it like a dark horse but without the price. Same wheels and Recaro white seats and interior. Check it out @Grabberstang on YouTube.
