Having been to many other car factories professionally, this one looks rather strange to me. It's dirty and ramshackle, things are standing around randomly, you see parts falling off during production steps where it's weird (to me), some status displays seem to be down, the density of the space usage is very low. Even for a barely operational plant with much to come it feels rushed together.
Edit: Quite surprised/curious why this is getting downvoted so aggressively ...
It's all an opinion, of course. I think I maybe wrote it in a way that came across as incendiary, but I was mostly wondering if this was shot weeks ago during trial or calibration runs and just doesn't represent a line working at full pace.
Re dirty and ramshackle, there's just a lot of stuff standing around in what seems like temporary locations, including discarded packaging materials. Things also do frankly look a bit dusty and bruised in ways I'm just not used to seeing in these high-end factories. It may not be to levels of functional relevance, but I think it's interesting. The factories I'm used to are nearly antiseptically clean and the people who run them take great pride in them being so.
> You haven't seen entire subframes being molded before, so it would be strange to see that much mold flash falling off.
Yep. That's a front (I think) subframe, fresh off the presses. A little mold flash is to be expected, it's operating around 5,600 to 6,200 tf, more than any industrial mold on the planet. I am friends with an excellent moldmaker, and he's in awe that it works at all.

This makes more sense, and doesn't fit with your original tone.
