Hahaha, well you know, that game belongs to whoever wants it more! Itās always a battle. Thank you for the like lol!When the Longhorns beat the Sooners again.
Had to laugh at your username. Good stuff.
I remember 2009. Sugar Bowl specifically.I said safe as Saban at mid-season 2009. Turnarounds donāt happen overnight. (Remember, Saban's first team at Bama lost 4 of its last 5 games, including a 6th straight loss to Auburn, and ended the season 7-6.) He didnāt get a statue until later, but you would have to agree that his job was pretty secure by mid-season 2009.
Farley didnāt just parachute into Dearborn in October. Heās been at Ford since 2007. For several years, he was Chief Operating Officer, basically doing all of the heavy lifting for CEO Jim Hackett, the Steelcase cabinet-maker , who was kicked to the curb to let Farley take command. Farley helped guide the company through the development of the Mustang Mach-E, Bronco 6G, F-150 14G, and the Lightning.Agree. However would submit the run up on the stock price also had a lot to do with 200k Bronco and Lightening reservations which were in development or announced before farleys arrival. See the pop in Ford stock after Bronco and Lightning launches.
At least the chips are being made in Japan where QA is usually a high priority. Slightly less concern about getting half-assed parts from machinery that isn't fully dialed in yet after new installation.The Renesas plant burning is real and had a major impact to certain auto-makers, but you are right that it is far from the only chip supply problem. The Japanese government stepped in to help secure replacement equipment and full production is expected to be back online soon. The bad news is that it typically takes about 2 months to produce and deliver automotive grade chips, so that means end of July for parts. Then add a month for chips to be integrated in modules and finally installed in truck.

Clearly, and what else is clear, is that no one gives a shit today about the work that they put out there. Horrible writing.That was a tough read. Clearly wasn't checked for errors.
The Renesas fire that destroyed the Naka 3 plantās 300mm wafer fabrication line in Japan on March 19, 2021 clearly exacerbated an already tight chip supply chain post-COVID. Renesas accounts for 30% of the global market for automotive microcontroller units, and that plant was a single-source supplier for some of Fordās chips and a dual-source supplier for others. Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz, and others were also affected by the fire.
Baloney. The facts surrounding the chip shortage has little to do with a chip plant burning.
[...]
Does anyone really believe Ford would be suffering a chip shortage if one overseas plant became disabled?

Thanks for the confirmation.āA plant in Japan run by Renesas Electronics Corp., a major provider of automotive chips, was damaged by fire in March, disrupting production for weeks.ā
