2019 Ram 1500 SHAP production video

Here's a little gift to everyone from @BZ23, a video showing various stages of 2019 Ram 1500 production at SHAP.

Love seeing things being built but it raised two questions:

1. At around 1:37, is it my eyes are can you see the spot for the eTorque battery on the driver's side rear wall? You can see the two cab extraction vents are not centered but more toward the passenger side. I have wondered on non-eTorque trucks if that battery space is accessible and how much room there is.
2. At 3:39 & 4:13 you can see a fairly large electronic module that will be underneath the center console. It's got a fairly large electrical harness connected. What the heck is that? I'd never think to look for a module in that location.

I believe that is the spot for the eTorque battery, good catch.

Most likely the airbag module, very common for it to be under the center console in most vehicles.
