Did daily number of builds skyrocket?

[mds5917]

It seems that the window stickers coming out for the 10/18 build week are showing (what appears to be) daily build numbers of nearly 3300 units. Maybe it is a glitch, or will be corrected later, but up until now the daily number seemed to hover around 900 units. My blend date is 10/19 and I am showing 1424/3291. I have seen other people posting other days at 3293...

Do we know if they increased production (drastically) or does this now no longer represent what we though it did?

Thanks tips. Sooooo is that like 900ish or 3300ish or maybe something different?

I thought I read yesterday that the sequencing number is a rolling number that resets to 0000 after it hits 9999. I don’t think it’s a daily count.

If you can, check the numbers with someone’s build on the previous day to verify.

The days reported so far are 3293 and 3291. My sequence was 6696. It seems they are either hugely boosting the daily builds, or something is wrong.

It would make sense that they are building more, as the DM group has noticed a definite decrease in units being fixed and shipped off of dirt mountain. Thats where are the 2.0 MICs are going instead of the DM units. Sorry...I'm a bit bitter.

But this increase is sudden, and way out of proportion to what we were led to believe was possible. this week (10/11 week) they are hitting roughly 900 units per day. Are we really believing they could ramp to 3300/day next week? Are they building "0" Rangers, and now adding another shift and upping the speed of the line by 30%? That presumes a lot of parts availability too...

Production did not skyrocket. Window stickers are now showing weekly productions.

I had wondered about that, but then it means they have actually reduced the builds. If they were getting ~900/day before, running 6 days, now it is down to 3300? Guess it could be parts issues, but that is going to put a big crimp in how many get built in '21...
