Textile Mill May Move Into Unused Space In Shreveport Plant

[Rickb]

Another tenant might take some of the pressure off EM from Caddo parish. I just hope Elio has dibs on some additional floor space for engine machining and assembly. Hopefully Paul didn't forget that the way he overlooked the need for an additional 1000 - 1200 employees for the engine line.

I can't imagine that dedicated space for engine assembly was overlooked by EM's Board of Directors. Also, 1000-1200 additional employees beyond the original 1500 seems rediculously excessive. Are we certain the 1500 original plant workers can't assemble engines and Elios during the same shift? Frankly, if every single person on EM's experienced management team missed the production plant space requirements and manhour needs for the IAV engine assembly...........they are all incompetent and it would red flag the question whether or not EM has a sound engineering and business model. I don't believe that to be the case.

Thanks for that! It leads me to believe that a dedicated number of the 1500 initial employees will man that space.

Rickb --- According to Pauls statement in the Reddit AMA page 14 of the pdf transcript the 1500 employees were for vehicle assembly only and didn't include any employees slated for engine production.
