LMAO they don't have to build a manufacturing plant. I have one of these cars ordered (as a second car) and they just paired with a manufacturer in Europe. That's how normal business is done.

That partnership only builds the body. They still have to put the car together and they need a manufacturing plant for that. Chris Anthony and Sandi Munro had a discussion on this a week ago.

Right but you don't BUILD a whole manufacturing plant. You pair with one. That's my point. You made it sound like they have to start from the ground up with construction and that's inaccurate.

No. They are not pairing with one. They have to put the car together, manufacture them. Widget 1 connected to widget 2 is manufacturing a product. Partnering with someone to make widget 1 and building widget 2 in house makes no difference to you having to manufacture the final product.

.... this has absolutely nothing to do with building factories man
I am simply saying they do not have to necessarily build an entire factory from the ground up
Edit: I suddenly realize I think this is a language issue, is English your second language? I think we are using "build" differently
