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.
Hi SCA, thanks for the numbers. Hard to imagine over 12,000 G05s being produced every month. Amazing.

As you seem to know a fair bit about the factory and production, wondering if you know when the MY20 changeover will take place? I know it's usually July-ish.
at the latest August
