I see ocean blue is in the mix along with red and black, thought the first one would be sting grey...

That doesn’t look like an actual production line. Looks to me like a half dozen bodies held aside for some reason. I don’t see any gear that would bring them along to join a chassis.
Not saying they’re not being built, just that the photo is not great evidence.

Ok, I see the gearing underneath now, but why only six? Shouldn’t there be a bunch more bodies behind them?

Probably the back of the line, don't know how far forward it goes.

The 2 in the back are 4 doors, you can see back door outline and hinges. I work in photoshop every day and I also see no obvious signs of photoshopping the front 2 which would be pretty hard to pull off considering the background and the lighting. I also could not find any other version of the photo searching 27 billion photos online.

It looks like the line zig zags and goes further behind it. If you look between the two blacks you can see an ocean blue back there. Could just be a long line they go through while paint dries before production.
