Pretty sure all factories have high ceilings so the track cranes overhead can remove any piece of machinery from the factory floor, piece by piece if necessary. At least that's what my Millwright buddy who has worked on power plants, canneries and paper mills has told me.

In car assembly lines there are often gantries, conveyor systems (accumulating and EMS), trunnions and other high level equipment that prevents the use of track cranes. First choice would be to extract heavy equipment by manitou or fork-lift, crane is a distant second best. It sounds as though Tesla aren't considering how to maintain or repair their model 3 line.

Why did people downvote you, it's an honest question? Anyway, I expect the Audi manu expert would consider this and make sure he doesn't design a system without that possibility.
