From Mach-E VLOG.
We got exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the brand-new Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America in Georgia! Join Patrick as he takes you on a deep dive into this $26 billion investment, featuring everything from the factory floor to high-speed test tracks.
In this video, we cover:
Exclusive Vehicle First Looks: We check out the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 Calligraphy "Black Ink" Edition and the autonomous Waymo Ioniq 5.
Factory Floor Tour: See the incredible scale of the 3,000-acre site, the advanced robotics (including Boston Dynamics’ Spot!), and how Hyundai is building the future of EVs in the US.
Rally Course Action: Patrick takes the Ioniq 5 XRT onto a dirt rally course for some sideways, off-road fun.
Test Track Shakedown: A look at how every single vehicle is tested for quality—from suspension "shakedowns" to high-speed lane-keep assist checks—before leaving the plant.
The Big Picture: Hyundai’s 40-year history in the US, their massive Georgia investment, and the upcoming IONNA charging network expansion.
Whether you’re an EV enthusiast or curious about the future of American manufacturing, there’s a lot to see in this one.
