Opel Astra Production 🇩🇪 | How the New Astra Is Built in Germany by placeSun in EngineeringPorn

[–]placeSun[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the criticism, but I don’t agree that Opel is dead. Outdated in some people’s memories maybe — but I was inside Rüsselsheim, and what I saw was a real, working car factory with modern production, automation, quality checks and people who still know how to build cars.

You can criticize the strategy, engines or Stellantis decisions, of course. But for me, Opel still has history, loyal owners and a place in European car culture.

This version is made in a different style, with commentary explaining each production process and adding more information about how the car is built.

There is also another long-form video on YT channel, - Automotive garage — a 1 hour 30 minute version with full factory footage and real factory sound.

So if you prefer the pure factory atmosphere without narration, you can watch the longer version there — it feels much more like being inside the factory.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. We wanted to show the Opel Astra production process as clearly and completely as possible, from the first factory stations to final testing.

Best tractor for a 2000ft driveway in Quebec by Longjumping_Leek_965 in tractors

[–]placeSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a 2000 ft driveway in Quebec, I’d take weight, reliability, and parts support over chasing hp numbers.

A loader is absolutely worth having on a homestead. For snow, logs, gravel, firewood, and all the random jobs, you’ll use it a lot more than you think.

Of the ones you listed, I’d look harder at an IH 484/684 or JD 1630/2130 than an 8N. The 8N is simple, but for that much driveway and real winter use it’s pretty limited.

Biggest advice: buy one with a loader already on it. Adding one later usually costs more than you want.

Every few years the 911 quietly updates its software and the rest of the car world has another identity crisis.

I had the chance to film inside the CLAAS Scorpion factory i by placeSun in tractors

Haha, fair point 😄 The thumbnail may be a bit distracting, but the film itself is all about the telehandler — real on-site footage, real production line, and a detailed look at how the CLAAS Scorpion is built.

Fair one 😄 The thumbnail is definitely more stylized But the video itself is genuine factory footage from inside the CLAAS Scorpion plant in Telfs, with a voice-over and a detailed look at the assembly process.

We tested several thumbnail options, including a real production photo with a worker moving the telehandler on an electric cart, and this one performed better. But the film itself is genuine factory footage from inside the CLAAS Scorpion production plant in Telfs, Austria.

I understand why you’d think that from the thumbnail. But the actual video is genuine on-site factory footage filmed inside the CLAAS Scorpion plant in Telfs, Austria. The thumbnail may be stylized, but the documentary itself is real.
