A shift and B shift (graveyard). We saw the body shop, and paint shop in hall 50 (X5/X6) after PCD in the Summer of 2017. Pre-production models were being produced of the G01 in hall 52 (X3/X4) so no tours of it were being offered and that was fine as I had seen it twice before.

I have toured Plant Spartanburg nearly a dozen times since Z3 production began.
