    Video, the making of a modern 911 in the factory

    Below is a link to a newly released video showing the making of a gold 911.

    It’s long and detailed.
    I have been on 4 factory tours in Stuttgart and Leipzig.
    The first tour was 1900s, had no robots. No modern museum across the street.
    But a small museum in an old building behind a gate.

    The second tour had one robot to glue in windshields, and a trolley, that carried parts, that followed a painted line on the floor.

    The planning, timing, investment of the infrastructure, mechanisms, people, electricity power, air supply, supply chain, paint supplies, every little part, seems harder than designing the car itself. Must be some really smart people figuring all that out.
