Hello to all outstanding orderies! A few things to pick your brains and see what you guys think. Recently announced the KC plant will be down for yet another week and the DB plant will be at a lower production. I've attached the article for reference. Now I am usually an optimistic but I am also a realist. So my thoughts/questions are below:
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/09/01...up-production-again-due-to-chip-shortage.html
- Ford continues to promote building new/upcoming vehicles(lighting, Bronco, recently Ranger trim), but how do you think this will affect current orders/vehicles in terms of production?
- Follow-up to point 1, with Ford promising to build Lightnings(specifically) like crazy do you think Ford will shutter outstanding orders in favor of building newer high profit vehicles? AKA they will have '21 F-150 orders convert into '22. OR they will allocate resources towards the Lightning and continue to postpone gas F-150 trucks?
- I understand this past year, or 2 years, have been VERY rough but what are you thoughts on how Ford is handling the situation in terms of managing resources vs demand?
