Tesla Model S - Coming soon

Here's another video showing some behind the scenes action at the Tesla factory.

Wow! That is really a cool video. It looks like the factory that builds Terminators. 

The nice thing about those robots is that they don't get breaks, don't drink beer on Fridays, don't ask for raises, have few health problems and don't need a retirement plan. They get to retire in a dumpster.

Yeah, cool what you can do when you build a car factory from scratch today. Is that the actual factory?

I like the one scene where the office workers are walking by in the distance like these robots building one of the world's most sophisticated cars are no more notable than a typical atrium water fountain

I sent the link to that video to my 11-year old granddaughter and she loved it.

They didn't really build it from scratch. They bought the NUMMI facility and (IIRC) some of the equipment from Toyota.

In any case, how they use the equipment is completely custom to their needs, as in any other factory.

Love the setup. Great PR. Can't wait 'til the S starts to ship.. it's going to be a good year for Mr. Musk.
