Grounded EV Factory Tour

​Go inside the factory with Grounded.

Grounded builds modular, software-defined electric vehicles from adventure vans, specialty rigs, and mobile command centers — on top of GM BrightDrop, Harbinger Motors and other OEM platforms.

​Founded by former SpaceX engineers, it was the first company to join Newlab at Michigan Central, and the first to graduate into its own factory blocks away.

​This private tour goes onto the floor with founder & CEO Sam Shapiro (ex-SpaceX) to see how Grounded is scaling domestic manufacturing of high-tech, modular vehicle upfits — the build process, the modular "Lego-like" architecture, and the production and supply-chain decisions behind shipping vehicles out of Detroit. Sam will also get into why he chose Detroit over Austin and other markets to build a hardware company.

​For founders, operators, engineers, and anyone serious about building physical product in America.
