I found this little tidbit kind of interesting ... IIRC a slower line usually results in slightly lower productivity but usually higher assembly quality ... maybe someone who actually works on a line could comment on what this should mean to consumers.

It means more work and fewer workers. And typically, better quality.

You handle a whole section of the assembly process, instead of just a bolt here and a part there.

Better build quality all around, but less profitable.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
