Reminds me of the Two Hour BMW Plant tour I took in February 2020 at the Spartanburg, SC plant, which produces the entire X1 thru X7 line of Sport Activity Vehicles.

Plant has 11,000 workers, and it's 99% automated, and 85% of the production goes OUTSIDE the USA. We saw X3's as the rolled off the end of the assembly line, go out the plant door and directly into train cars to be "railed" to the Port of Charleston for shipment world wide.

I highly recommend going on a plant tour once they resume.
