Go to How its made Dream Cars and watch the Stingray episode, sorry if it is old I just found it.

 

I have the episode. I've probably watched it three times already.

 

Thanks, I missed this the first time it showed.

Thanks,
Have seen the 2014 but not this 2015, always something new to find!

 

I hadn't seen this before - very interesting.

 

Between ordering the car and delivery, I must have watched it 25 times.

 

Missed this when it was televised, thanks for posting.

 

Does it bother anyone else that they don't wear uniforms in the factory? Maybe it's just my military brainwashing kicking in...

 

Hadn't seen the 2015 video.... Thanks!

 

Yes it seems very unprofessional. I notices some if the tshirts and hats had something offensive cause they had to blurr it. Does not give me warm fuzzy about how my car is built. I wish the entire car was put togather with only robots. So far mine is built really good.
My $.02 worth.

 

really??...

That's your "take away" from watching that?

Let's break this down.... you stated that some of the t-shirts and hats had to be blurred out due to something offensive... do you have proof of that? What is your basis for that statement? Do you really think that the unions allow offensive clothing? I submit to you sir that those people may have been wearing apparel that was not a GM sponsor and as such in order to include those "emblems/insignias" would require GM to pay royalties/rights. My question to you would be why should those folks have to wear a certain uniform? Do you wear a uniform to work? I know some people do, IE: Fastfood joints etc.... I would not want to oppress those upstanding individuals that build quality vehicles....

Lets deny ignorance shall we...

Just my .02

 

Dang - calm down. You must be a union factory worker, or the son of one? You should probably understand that people are going to have different opinions on things and this is one of those things. It's okay - you don't have to agree, no need to get all pissy.

There's plenty of evidence that uniforms can have a very real impact on employee performance, usually a positive one. It can cut down on distractions at work, leading to more efficient workers. Also has an impact on safety, as the uniforms are chosen in mind with the environment they will be used in, to account for machinery and possible high heat or open flames. Can foster a higher expectation in the workplace for professionalism, people who dress professionally usually act more professionally than if they wore their casual clothes.

Examples of where uniforms are worn:
Military obviously - yes, I do wear a uniform. At least on one weekend a month. If you have served, then you probably know exactly what I am talking about in this environment.
Hospitals
Ferrari Factory
Lamborghini Factory
Porsche Factory
Aston Martin Factory


Don't knock the fast food joints too bad, you'll need somewhere to work during the next factory union strike -

Would you rather these people build your car? or...




Or these guys - they don't look "oppressed"



I'd even pay extra to have these Professionals work on my car during the factory tour in their uniforms... heh.

 

I did happen to catch it when it was aired. Fascinating look at the process.

It's ok man... I wasn't trying to be pissy

I do happen to be the son of autoworkers but I didn't think it influenced my thought process on the topic. It does influence my purchasing choices though and I take pride in knowing that every vehicle I've ever owned was built by the good folks in your first pic. I certainly would love to watch the Texans girls wash it.

I've also worn the uniform since I spent 4yrs in the USN. Haze gray and underway.

Uniforms do lend to some level of professionalism and I cannot disagree there. My main point was that I don't believe anyone there was wearing anything offensive as Gr8ful had suggested.

That is all.

I was a little surprised by the 1" thick piece of black foam under the intake manifold to "reduce engine noise".

 

I find the fact anyone would complain about the look of the autoworkers and assume them to be unprofessional kind of funny.

Know who looks like some of the most unprofessional characters in the military (at first site)..............special operations groups. Especially seals, and green berets. Long hair, facial hair, etc. Yet obviously some of the best professionals in any business are in those units.

But oh my god!!! they aren't clean shaven with squared away hair cuts!!!

hahaha oh well.

So much for looks mattering.

What anyone should care about is the quality of the work being done. Not if some dude is in a uniform.

 

Yeah, they were running these on the History channel. Now, they have been moved over to Velocity. It is a "new" series for them. But, it's probably going to be a repeat for the rest of us that have been watching the past two seasons.

They kickoff with the BMW i8 again on Saturday here.

 

Lol - comparing factory workers to the Navy Seals?

One day you'll grow up and become an adult and experienced in life enough to realize that appearances actually do matter, in many situations regardless of what all the Mark Zuckerberg followers want to tell you. Now where that changes is when you're rich enough to not care... which I don't think most of us are there yet, certainly not the average factory worker.

 

Maybe a Marine analogy would be better for you? Since I am one. So I may know a few things about uniform standards and dress code.

The Zuckerberg comment was funny!

How about using Google as an example? Some of the brightest minds in the tech industry work there. And yet there is no standard dress code at Google. hmmmmm I wonder if their work is suffering because of it! Or perhaps someone realized that having a uniform means nothing beyond looking pretty for outside prying eyes.

Do appearances matter in some instances........yep.

At a factory.............probably not so much.
