Slave labor isn't usually used for things vulnerable to sabotage.

Try putting a slave in a chemical plant and telling them they can blow the building up by tossing a water bottle in a vat for example.

A vehicle factory probably isn't quite that risky but there's still plenty of options for chaos.
