I like these factory build videos and this one is of the Lightning. There's been a few Ranger ones posted here and it's amazing to see how much things have changed with these new EV's. They now use AGV's to carry the heavier components around the factory like the frames and battery packs.

It's all fake....they only built one, and it's moved daily from dealer to dealer to give the impression their in production...

I had to laugh when he said they expect to build 150K next year. With all the Covid outbreaks in China right now I can't see how they don't shut down and everything comes to a halt again.

It is! I can't wait to see the new Blue Oval city once it's up and running.

It could be worse, I could be 2000 miles from home on a road trip and it started leaking....

I know, I hope the plant manager doesn’t get cancer; my Granny had cancer.
