A billion is chump change..
The GM plant here in Arlington Tx builds the Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade and Suburban.
They pump out 400 units (vehicles) per shift which is 1200 units per 24 hours when running 3 shifts which is the norm.
Approximately 1 vehicle per minute comes out finished and ready to ship.
This is one plant, GM has multiple plants across this country
