Intro:

This facility produces all vehicles requested by Inisfreeans and their distinguished guests. Though there are many forms of easily accessible mass-transportation across the city, there is also plenty of room for all citizens and guests, resident or tourist, to have their own vehicles.

 

–

Dimensions & Layout:

This facility’s foundation measures 990′ x 990′; floor-space of just over 980,000 square feet per story.

  • The average personal car has a ‘footprint’ of ~100 sq. ft.; 15+’ x 6+’.
  • Each floor in this facility has room for ~5,000 such vehicles to be parked in a grid on/across it (with spacing for the 3D-printers and other structures/devices in this facility).

Like the Distribution Port on the opposite side of the city, this facility is 90% underground, its roof being half covered in landscaping.

  • This layout aspect helps with climate control and prevents an urban-sprawl / industrial-sprawl ‘eyesore’.
  • It is also designed to hint at what is here, keeping it apparent but not overly so; you have to know what you are looking for, and only then will you be sure to see/find it.

Its top story is 10′ tall and has the vehicle ports and other access points (such as the Inisfreean-style pull-down L-hallway doors) which allow its products to be transported out by automated vehicles or picked up (and driven out) in person (and being able to drive one’s custom-ordered personal automobile right off its assembly line on the factory floor has proven to be quite the attraction). Nine stories are below ground level, starting with the factory floor where raw materials are subatomically sung into existence from slush matter vats. As these creations are moved to higher and higher successive floors in this facility, they become more and more recognizable as the finished product; couture automobiles which any collector, connoisseur, or aficionado would adore and drool over.

  1. Floor 1; Lowest Basement:  ‘slush matter’ is stored here, and start forming the basic shape/hull
  2. Floor 2:  engine/s (repulsines, etc.) is/are added, plus everything else ‘under the hood’ (including the drive-train)
  3. Floor 3:  hood, trunk, doors, etc.
  4. Floor 4:  seats and seatbelts/harnesses
  5. Floor 5:  dashboard and steering wheel / joystick; controls/console/s
  6. Floor 6:  windshield and windows, plus side-view mirrors, etc.
  7. Floor 7:  lights/signals
  8. Floor 8:  paintjob, if any (though all our vehicles can change their color similarly to how ICVs change theirs)
  9. Floor 9:  wheels and tires
  10. Floor 10; Ground Level:  final minute details / finishing touches, and the programming/installing

Notes:

The only garage in Inisfree which can produce its own vehicles, bypassing this facility, is the Cylinder Garage of the Governor’s Mansion.  All other garages in Inisfree can help clean, maintain, and repair, but not create vehicles.

All tires in Inisfree are made of white rubber.  That way, even when “peeling out” / “burning rubber”, they don’t leave unsightly marks on our white highway system.

Tire-chains and 1 bag of cat-litter (due to the great traction it provides even on ice) come standard with every vehicle, as does a winter-survival “bug-out bag”.  We are near the South Pole, after all.  Should ever there be an issue with our surface/outside environmental/weather controls/system, anyone able to open one of the vehicle’s we’ve made here, provided its issued/complimentary contents are still inside, will be well-prepared for temperature-drops and more.

In inisfree, all vehicles are auto’-registered.
No insurance is necessary.
No driver’s licenses are issued, either.
We also have no license plates, as none are needed; Inisfreeans can feel where all our vehicles are, somewhat like a human can tell where his/her own body-parts are, their brain always knowing the difference.

Since we sometimes make vehicles and let people outside our realm use them, that is similar to a self-made, thus untraceable, firearm; they have no need to register them out there (and we provide them with fake yet legit-looking license plates, as needed –such as “EXEMPT”/government ones –which is legal, because we are the sole legitimate authority/government for all of Creation now).

No car alarms, but vehicles can be set to locked when a user wants to return to them to resume using them after parking (because otherwise there is a chance anyone else in the area who feels like driving that vehicle home will take it, as we are one family in this realm, sharing everything, ICVs always aware of our needs, thus no one ever carjacked or left stranded, etc.).

There are no bumper stickers in our realm, as all vehicles belong to the High King (me; Auz), I don’t like bumper stickers, and everyone shares vehicles in my realm; it would be weird and illogical to put a sticker you like on a vehicle that you might not see for a while after first using it.

We never put TVs in our vehicles. That’s not what cars and trucks are for. The only screen in them is for dashboard gauges and touch-based controls, never showing any videos.

Vehicles Produced in This Factory:

  1. ATVs (Sherp models)
  2. amphibious vehicles (Gibbs Aquada variants)
  3. bicycles –and all have A.I.-based tracking
  4. boats (for the canals)
  5. canoes (open top)
  6. cars (including amphibious ones; Gibbs Aquada, etc.)
  7. kayaks (closed top)
  8. limousines (including Inisfree’s “presidential” white one)
  9. motorcycles
  10. personal watercraft (such as jet-skis)
  11. rafts (inflatable, roll-cage upgrade; inflated top prevents rollovers)
  12. sailboats and small personal yachts
  13. skateboards
  14. SUVs
  15. suburbans (including the royal-family one for The Yellowstone Club cabin)
  16. surfboards, paddleboards, and wakeboards
  17. trucks
  18. and just the white tires for our mobile houses (as the rest of those buildings are 3D-printed on-site)

Skateboards can be printed here, as well, though residents are encouraged to use their in-home 3D-printers for things on that scale.

Capacity:

Even though some ~2,000,000,000 will become allied with Inisfree in the millennia ahead, and forevermore, their arrivals and vehicle requests/orders here will be spread out over at least 22 millennia; for the first personal vehicle each of those people places a build-order with this facility for, if spread out evenly over that time, only ~90,909 will need to be 3D-printed here each Earth-year.  90,909 over the course of a year is 249/day; 10/hour.  That is well within our capabilities –and we could provide thousands more (with room for ~5,000 at a time).

Also, of course, the things we make are just about as immortal as we are; they don’t experience wear & tear, at least inside our realm / mind-fields, so we don’t have to keep replacing them, or even printing spare parts for them.  Once someone has one in his/her garage, they just might keep the thing for live / forever.  With everyone in Inisfree thinking of themselves / their fellows as being part of the same one big literal family, and with the status-quo here of casual vehicles-sharing/swapping, with 2,000,000,000 residents/allies at-capacity in the millennia ahead, that suggests a very high probability that all their personal vehicle choices… will result in every imaginable/desirable vehicle type/color/combination having been ordered, printed, and maintained, …thus everyone will have access to 2,000,000,000 different/unique/beautiful/artistic personal vehicles of their choice at any and all times.

In other words?  There may come a time when the capacity of this facility to print more personal vehicles is no longer fully utilized, let alone stressed/strained.  There may come a time when it isn’t even producing anymore vehicles at all (except for the rare cases when an extra or a backup/replacement is needed).

 

–

Duration:

The vehicles here only take a few hours to assemble (3D-print).  Cars take less time, and suburbans take more, of course.  Depending on the features/options you select/request, those times will change by a matter of minutes.

(Any vehicle you order, however, will be ready within the same 24-hour ‘day’/period, and on its way to you either by itself (self-driving) or with one of the Inisfreean girls (ICVs) at the wheel –ready to help you test-drive and ‘christen’ it when it reaches your home here in our city.)

Features:

All of the following come standard with every Inisfreean vehicle (those made for public/individual use in our realm).

  • 3D-printed; no waste-material, and far-fewer moving parts
  • aware of all surroundings, including all other vehicles (whether linked to our shared-consciousness A.I.s network or not) and bystanders/pedestrians (including non-human ones)
  • backs of all back seats (adjacent the trunk) always can be folded all the way down; makes room for easy fully-prone “stretched out” sleeping/camping
  • batteries auto-recharge during use (via the energy from movement such as wheels/tires rotating, and from body heat, bioelectric current excess, voices, the Inisfreean Tesla-inspired portals-based power-distribution grid, etc.), and do not need to be plugged in or replaced (and are easily recyclable if ever anyone had reason/want to; at our subatomic-based/level recycling facility)
  • cup-holder temperature-control; set each cup-holder to its own unique temperature, such as to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold
  • detect all threats within sensor-range; explosives, firearms, melee weapons (bladed, etc.), even ill-intent (mind-energy fields/signatures) –though those things are almost unheard-of (outside designated areas, such as for training/sparring) in our realm
  • door handles are flush w/ door; in case of rollover
  • environmental controls include humidity, not just temperature, and work for the trunk, not just the passengers-section (so you can keep groceries cool/cold during multi-mile drives home across/within our city, or even during flights to the Inisfree-like cities; when stowed in the garages of our exclusive airline craft)
  • fire-suppression system –sound-based
  • fully customizable –even after “purchase”/ordering; driver can change the exterior/body-panels color/scheme at any time, and the same way a dial is used to choose a radio station or set the inside temperature, for example, as well as the color of the headlights, and the seats all adjust every time to each person sitting on them
  • GPS/navigation voice is a sexy female one (i.e. sounds nothing like the repulsive voices programmed into TomTom or any other Outlands navigation system)
  • high-centering not possible due to repulsines and other features
  • indirect exterior (grill, undercarriage, wheel-‘dimples’ (in the rims), etc.) lighting (any-color LED bars), selectable on/via dashboard / control console/panel
  • jack
  • jumper cables
  • keyless access/entry/start; based on bio-signature (and works for anyone in approved by Auz to be in Inisfree, since everyone here sees everyone else here as of the same one family, thus welcome to borrow/trade most civilian/personal vehicles here)
  • kinetic barriers; local shield-like mini-forcefields (unseen, and designed to only stop/deflect high-speed projectiles, such as flying shrapnel, not mere body-parts from calmly touching the vehicle)
  • lift-mode; vehicle can raise up or lower down, as needed, either on-demand based on driver-preference or sensors-data (such as when the vehicle detects an obstacle it is approaching which its clearance is not sufficient to pass/drive over)
  • light-weight (due to the special material we base most things in our realm off of), thus requiring less energy to operate, and even man-portable (i.e. can be pushed/lifted off of, or out of the way of, a person at risk)
  • mood-lighting selectable on dashboard / control console/panel
  • no gasoline or oil required
  • off-road tire-inflation options/automation (to better grip sand, etc.)
  • power-steering
  • quick-release doors in case of emergency (such as water-landing/entry)
  • repulsines built-in; helps ensure no drifting, hydroplaning, roll-overs, etc.
  • self-diagnosing; no need to take into any mechanic shop –and automatically isolates/identifies (to you) any abnormal/unwanted sound or rattling/wobbling
  • self-maintaining, constantly negating “wear & tear”
  • self-repairing; even crumple-zones restore themselves like new
  • sideview mirrors automatically turn inward when parked/left; to help avoid dings, scratches, and anyone walking by from bumping into them
  • soundproofing on par with that legendary Rolls Royce (the Ghost model) so quiet it was almost disorienting to weak drivers/passengers
  • steering-wheel cooler, not just warmer; you can increase or decrease the temperature of where you hold on
  • tires are made from vegan rubber from trees, not blubber from animals
  • traction-assistance kit:  cat-litter bag, tire-chains, etc.
  • tow-straps
  • underwater-capable; will not leak/flood, and can still maneuver based on normal controls (pedals, steering wheel, etc.) –due to repulsines
  • vegan; even the “leather” in our vehicles is based on plants, such as apples or cacti
  • volume regulators; A.I. ensures car-stereo music is not loud enough to disturb anyone nearby, such as in parking lots. Tailgate parties in Inisfree are fine, as is playing music fairly loud from vehicles during our street races, but not where people nap or sleep. ICVs will always politely explain, as necessary.
  • white-rubber tires (all-weather, perfect for local conditions; alpine, arctic/polar, wintry, etc., but no tire-studs needed)
  • winches (front and back) in off-road models (anything designed specifically for our off-road events)
  • windows automatically slightly lower as a door is being closed, ensuring simultaneous door-closing does not cause overpressure/cracking (and then those windows are raised back all the way, preventing rain from getting in)
  • x-ray windshield mode (passive; does not emit x-rays, but is able to sense similarly to how ICVs can switch to seeing through things)
  • yoke-mode for the steering-wheel (though wheel-mode is recommended for easiest turning, and though all gauges/readouts are never hidden behind the steering-wheel); driver can, with the touch of a single button, cause the steering-wheel to self-bend/flex into a form more commonly found/seen/used in aircraft
  • z-bar; helps prevent bump in high-travel, especially in/for off-road moments/vehicles

All our vehicles in Inisfree, including our military and municipal ones, have doors which lower their own windows slightly before/while closing, then raise those windows all the way up after being closed; so there is no pressure burst/increase which could crack/shatter windows if 2/+ doors were closed/slammed at the same time.  (This is already a common feature on high-end automobiles in the Outlands.)

What our vehicles don’t do:

  • beep for any reason (such as if your seatbelt isn’t buckled, or multiple times upon engine-shutoff)
  • honk on their own (such as if you close the door before turning the engine on)
  • lights on upon turn-on at night (must be manually turned on/off)
  • turn themselves off when you slow to a stop (such as at an intersection/turn or curbside)

2024 February note:  These personal automobiles self-govern their movement rate/cap’; they keep their speed below 100 MPH, except when racing during our authorized street races, during which they can go up to 150.

2024/+:

Vehicles we will not have in our realm:

  • Segway
  • scooter, sit, motorcycle
  • scooter, stand, electric
  • scooter, stand, manual
  • trikes

…

April:  (Our) Cargo trucks (semis) don’t use air/compression brakes, but repulsines, thus their braking is silent.
Their shipping containers don’t detach in the Outlands, only in our realm.
