I must admit, I’m way behind the grand tour. While catching up, I noticed that during the Stuttgart episode, the map shows this:

This is so awfully wrong! And they were there! Come on, it would have taken 30 seconds to Google that.

Yeah that’s not super close. I’m wondering if it was done to allow enough space to legibly type out “Stuttgart”.

Never noticed that. They have it between Frankfurt and Luxembourg. Oops indeed.

Makes sense, but also makes me cringe when I see it

They must have gone out of their way to actually create that, too.

Need to stop employing Americans to make the intro graphics ;)

Seriously, we have no idea where anything is in Europe (said Nick while visiting Luxembourg).

The dart is basically on Saarbrücken which does have a huge ZF facility.

Also look at the Netherlands! We lost some of the bits close to Belgium, they forgot the southern appendix part between Belgium and Germany, and they turned our big lake with 90 degrees....

It’s just a plain bad map!

What is a switz I know wonder?

I’m sure they know exactly where Stuttgart is and know it’s all wrong but there’s some joke involved. Probably some WW2 bomber that aimed for Stuttgart and hit whatever is at that spot.
