I agree and wonder about a lot of that stuff too, but coming from a manufacturing engineering background, I can see why it may be easier to have a person do some tasks, like install the badges for example. When dealing with robotic assembly, it is crucial to have robots programmed to look for...
Seriously? How have I not gotten on a truck to the dealership yet? How long on average is everyone's jeep waiting at the railcar unloaded state for a truck to the dealership? Dealership claims they were going to expedite after the railcar was unloaded but I am beginning to want to call...
