inside tesla plant
#13
The Tesla plant *is* the NUMMI plant

Huh?

I'm well aware that it's the *former* NUMMI plant, now the Tesla Factory.

It was known as GM Fremont (for short) when my dad worked there, then NUMMI later when it reopened. Not NUMMI no more. Like I said, my dad worked there and retired when it closed down.

I think Musk had some kind of facility in San Jose or was considering setting up shop there when he got the old NUMMI facility.


That sounds like a pretty good trade-off for (my assumption) the improved quality and efficiency.

I understand. I heard the same thing.

When my dad worked at GM Fremont there were a few robots, and those cost the jobs of employees. NUMMI was a different story, as they didn't have to fire/lay off anybody since most robots were brought in before all the hiring was done. I'm sure the same applied to the Tesla Factory.

As I said, he would have appreciated the tech. But as a long-time union man, seeing any job that could be done by humans being done by robots wouldn't sit well with him.
