Pablo Gallardo joins the show to discuss why building a car is a chaotic, multi-continental scramble disguised as a streamlined assembly line. This episode strips away the corporate theater of automotive manufacturing to reveal the bureaucratic bloat of OEM platforms, the absolute dominance of tier-one supplier mandates, and the terrifying reality that one bad batch of plastic buttons can bankrupt a massive enterprise. If you think your software sprint is stressful, try managing a supply chain where a rounding error on a four-decimal spreadsheet results in a global safety recall and pre-production vehicles are crushed before they ever see a highway.
