A Tesla factory tour where visitors build car parts!
What's the story
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has put forth the proposition of offering interactive tours of the Tesla factory for visitors to see how electric cars are manufactured.
While Tesla already offers tours of its huge factory in Fremont, California, now Musk is also considering letting customers help build some parts of the automobiles.
Here is more on the exciting idea.

Participate in the assembly of a Tesla vehicle
Was thinking of offering an extended Tesla factory tour option where you could help build part of a car understand how they come together. I know it would have been super fun for me when I was a kid (or now).

A unique experience or wishful thinking?
However, this might be one of those things Musk just tweets about. He is known to put a lot of ambitious plans out there, and whether they are executed upon or not is an entirely different thing.
Reviews
Dangerous automobile factory
Here's what Jonathan Galescu, a production technician at Tesla, earlier said about his workplace, "I've seen people pass out, hit the floor like a pancake and smash their face open."
Another former employee Angelo Aroche had said, "You see people sleeping in the hallway. They sleep in the car, or on the floor. They sleep in the bathrooms. It's a mess."
Tesla Tourism
Turning Tesla manufacturing plants into tourist attractions
In 2016, Musk pushed for a "Tesla Tourism" bill with the higher aim to boost "industrial tourism."
The bill proposed that customers should visit Tesla's Fremont factory to take delivery of their new vehicles, and while doing so, take a tour of the place make a whole experience out of it.
However, the bill was overturned.
