Ever looked at the Michigan Assembly Plant on Google Maps or Earth?

[BroncoDave24]

I was bored today and I thought, "Why not snoop around the Bronco plant with Google Maps"?
Google Maps Michigan Assy Plant (42.2769319601266, -83.40768915124065)
I believe that link will come up in Satellite view. If not, click the "Layers" button bottom left. The current available view was flown early 2024.
FYI, Chrome works best with Maps. The following features won't work with other browsers. Hold ctrl+drag the Left Mouse Button to adjust your attitude. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out. Drag Left click to "fly" around.
Even looking in the dumpsters at the body shop was interesting. They have a whole lot full of, what appears to be, wrecked and totaled trucks. I wonder how many boneyard parts have gone down the line in a pinch? Interesting how they are lined up in some lots and parked 1 vehicle taking up 2 parking spots in other lots. Looks like there is a Ford Store right across Michigan Avenue! I am curious to hear what others notice.

I would have thought that how vital autobindustry I'd to our country's security that MAP would be blurred or non viewable from Google maps like many other sites with a no fly zone. Just try to find the Amazon servers on the wilds of Washington state. Or even Camp David or CIA headquarters

It's all good. I don't have any desire or need to find those places.

Looks like you’re having a productive weekend…

Edit: Has anyone read the Google reviews for Camp David? Quite amusing!

For a stark comparison, go compare it to the BMW plant in Dingolfing, Germany:

Or the VW plant in Wolfsburg:

There's a reason our trucks have quality problems.

I am surprised and I must say, a little disappointed at how everything looks kinda craptacular and not very well kept. Ford would probably like to get it blurred!

Brings to mind the old adage "You don't want to meet your heroes".

Somebody waiting on their Bronco will be excited about your photos. They'll be absolutely sure that it's THEIR Bronco parked there on the right waiting to go on a rail car. I swear I could see MINE back in 2022 as it lingered there.
