A lot of OEMs do that now, at least with some of their models. For example, you have to be OE Audi certified to get any structural parts on the TT, A8, R8. Tesla only sells structural parts to OE certified shops. My friend owns an OE Tesla shop, and whoo boy, are those things built like trash...but I digress.
Wonder if some of the workers are still using uhh "stimulants" to keep up with the line as was common practice back in the 70's. The new hires especially, as they typically got the real cr-p jobs that were near impossible to do without the above mentioned daily supplements.
