The former NUMMI site.

5.5 million square feet is just cavernous. I think they should set up an indoor race course (something the gas burners can’t consider doing).

We marveled with Elon Musk at the FANUC robot arms swinging about, warming up for the opening party.

    It is huge! That car looks lost in the new expansive plant! Congrats to all!

    Nice shot Steve! Perspective is everything (in photography and life). As Jay Maisel would say, "turn around and look the other way". The best shot may be right behind you!

    It’s wonderful to see the NUMMI site resurrected. The This American Life episode on NUMMI is worth a listen if you haven’t already done so. It has some great interviews with plant workers, UAW leaders, and others about the rise and fall of the ambitious GM/Toyota joint venture.
