But a bottleneck in the Model 3's assembly line now has skeptics wondering if the comparison is still apt. I s it just me, or is it starting to feel a lot like 1913? No, that’s not when Ford’s Model T first arrived—that was 1908. 1913 marks the birth of the inventor’s famous assembly line, which changed the way we think about manufacturing.
