I watched it again at home on the big screen over the weekend.
That was really a good video.

That is one really impressive production plant/facility.

I was paying close attention to the floor pan; I have been wondering what was underneath that floor hump that is under my seat or in my case with the seat all the way back under my feet.
That hump in the floorboard really drives me crazy.

I was really curious what was under there and why they made it that way.
After seeing it in the stamping / assembly stages, it appears that hump is covering structural supports, so no getting rid of it. I will just have to get used to it.

I agree the manufacturing line is pretty impressive.

Pretty cool how the doors get taken off and go round their own line, then come back to be re-married to the car.

I was trying to see if I could spot the headliner in there before the windshield was in (since the service manual instructions for removing a headliner include first removing the windshield) -- but alas, couldn't see it in the video.

Sunroof takes a couple of structural supports out.
