I'd feel safer there than in a car made by jeets
Are people finally gonna stop worshipping this lolbert fossil just because he said the government was bad 20 years ago?
It's happening ass hat. Ron Paul 2008.
You can go on factory tours, line workers could be replaced by well trained monkeys. It doesn't fucking matter. All they do is take trim piece, slap into door panel.
Maybe take torque drill and pull trigger on bolt until it beeps, if they cause enough green smiley faces or plus signs (good boy points for line workers). Milling and tooling is all computer controlled, with gcode written by engineers.
The QC issues mostly come from poor engineering and materials. It's not even an issue of planned obsolescence, they want these cars to fail around 200k and start having minor issues around 100-120k. Sub 100k catastrophic driveline failures look bad and drive off customers. It's not competitive.
The fucking engineers still live in the vicinity of Southeast Niggerville, MI (or wherever the particular org in question builds and engineers), they're just gradually being outsourced and replaced by jeets who have fake degrees, and probably either retiring or moving on, and all drive a half an hour plus down the same psychopathic lethal 95mph commute and don't stop until they get to their facility with a big spiky fence and private security.
The thing is, if the proper measures are taken to deincentivize + incentivize against this, like killing DEI and cancelling H1B, then manufacturers would suddenly find their quality needs met with no issue. Final assembly is so controlled and simple that the most the lineplebs can actually do without authentic, visible, actionable malice is scuff the paint on accident.
