Tesla is currently in the early stages of building a plant in Mexico which is expected to employ about 6000 people, which doesn't sound 100% automated to me. I wouldn't doubt that at some point there will be car factories that are much more highly automated than today, but as far as I can tell 100% automated is beyond the current state-of-the-art.
I baffled that people still think this way in Detroit. Can you take a wild guess at how I know Tesla and Toyota are deploying automated factories? Think of where we are living.
And, no, they aren't 100% automated, but there are *far* fewer workers than most traditional big three factories.
For a bit more perspective, paint shops are completely automated, mainly because nobody wants to stand in a sweltering bunny suit and spray cars all day.
Is there anyone who has spent five minutes looking into it who doesn't think auto factories have become steadily more automated?
You didn't claim that. You claimed that Toyota and Tesla are building 100% automated factories. As far as I can tell, they aren't. Doesn't mean they might not someday--the state of the art advances.
Agreed. And when there are zero jobs, we can eat the rich, live off the fat of the land, and every day will be Jobbie Nooner Day!
P.S. I'm saving my appetite for Elon Musk, but they say that South African turkey contains no dark meat.

I await fully automated luxury communism. However, unlike Simeon, no one has promised me that I'll live until it shows up.Hustle culture has infected America. https://youtu.be/mcgC-kuPEuo?t=1
