Can anyone confirm whether the new robots installed at the Chicago Assembly Plant (the ones that will do precise measuring for quality control) are in use for the 2011 Explorer? Everything I read so far seems to indicate that they will be used on the Explorers starting with the 2012s, but this Youtube video seems to show otherwise. At the very beginning (0:25), the narrator refers to the $100 million dollar investment in the robots, then shows some footage of what appears to be those robots in action (based on other videos I've seen, those do appear to be the new robots). The vehicle going through at that time is a 2011 Explorer.
Does anyone have any insight into this? I would be very happy to know that my soon-to-be-built 2011 Explorer will get the benefit of these new devices.
Cory, can you confirm whether the new robots are in use for the 2011 Explorer production?
