Webasto update with a little clarity:

Production output for the last 2 weeks has actually been fairly high, enough to keep the previously-scheduled MIC builds moving. However, that production mostly came at the hands of Ford employees working through their respective shutdowns. Most Ford workers will transition from Plymouth back to their normal plants on Monday.

There will be a dip in output as the new teams are trained and brought up to speed. Ford's presence in management and engineering at the plant will not change for the foreseeable future.

Things are moving in the right direction... slowly.
I have to say that I really appreciate the Ford team jumping into the fire and working to pull this out with Webasto dropping the ball so hard.

Thanks for this Ross. Gives me hope that I may actually get my Bronco built before 2023.

So are we saying that the hard top issues basically boils down to not enought workers?

That's not the only challenge but it's the biggest one remaining.

Dropping the ball? I'm of the mindset they punctured it, kicked it over the fence and it landed in the neighbor's blazing firepit.

I'm happy for all the good news lately about Ford finally shipping new Broncos out to dealers/customers, but honestly all I really want to see is the header, "WEBASTO NOW IN FULL PRODUCTION". But really, I'm happy for you all! :D(y)

Great example of how manipulated the media can get. All this "great" news and not a single mention of how thousands of your long reservation holders can't get their Broncos due to part constraints.

I mean I know, nobody wants to be a party buster, but to not even talk about they're still significant challenges.

Glass half empty, eh?

Ford just needs to offer for us buyers to work at the top factory for a week to bump up our priority. I might take them up on it. :p
Hell....at this point I'd drive up there and work in the factory for a reduction in price of my bronco. I'm retired
