Well, Lisa and Jon don't seem to agree...

They are both saying 40 per day. I think Jon is just misunderstanding. Or perhaps he's on night shift, and Lisa's day shift has been laid off for a while, hence the discrepancy? Just speculating of course.

Bronco6G will deliver pineapple pizza to the plant for any employee willing to work May 1st.

Like when you get frozen in an intense game of Freeze Tag amd someone unfreezes you.

How do you unfreeze in your part of the country? I remember we used to have to crawl under the frozen persons legs to unfreeze them. Not sure that would be allowed anymore. That must be gone now with the demise of Dodgeball, etc.

What does “tag relief” mean?

Mass Relief

• Typically shifts and work crews in a factory are relieved, or changed, all at once (e.g., all the workers leave the plant and a new shift starts work), which is called 'mass relief'.

Tag Relief

• 'Tag relief' is a different system where staff are exchanged one by one as needed (e.g., coffee break). One or two people are not working at one station, but relieve persons by 'tagging' or tapping their shoulder. They take the position until the break is over and then 'tag' another worker.

I just found the post on that crappy Facebook group. John is disagreeing with the OP who claimed they built 14 Broncos on Saturday, not with Lisa.

I haven't done the math to add up the numbers, but it's exciting to see/read that things are happening. Makes me feel better knowing that my Q1-2022 estimate that I have in my head might actually be real.

2021 Ford Bronco Full Production Confirmed to Start on August 2nd

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/...-confirmed-to-start-on-august-2nd-160061.html

April 26, 2021

Thanks to MAP employee Lisa DeEtte, we have learned new details about the Bronco’s production schedule. Job 1 is on track for May 3rd, as previously reported, and full production will start on August 2nd.

Tag relief acceleration begins on August 30th, according to the tipster, who also mentions full tag relief production on September 20th. “I’m hearing that we’ll start at 350 units per shift - both Bronco and Ranger - then ramp up to approximately 600 units per shift by August/September,” added Lisa.

Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne is currently in the pre-production phase, which means that Ford is making a handful of demonstrators per day for U.S. dealerships. Jon Thomas, a fellow plant worker, mentions that “we average 40 units a day for weeks now. This number will increase every week, and we will start a second shift next week to increase our numbers.”

Posted on the Ford Bronco 2021 Facebook group a little over 10 hours ago, Jon’s comment refers to the current week of April 26th to April 30th. The Michigan Assembly Plant is definitely buzzing right now because Job 1 will start next Monday, hence the workers’ enthusiasm for the all-new Bronco.

It’s also worth noting that Ford has more than 100,000 firm orders for the mid-size utility vehicle with Ranger underpinnings, which is why the Ford Motor Company will likely focus on making as many Broncos as possible. Given that every dealer has the Ranger in stock and the mid-size pickup truck sold 24,166 units in the first quarter of the year in the United States, it’s extremely obvious that “likely focus” is an understatement on my part.

For the first model year of the Bronco, the Blue Oval offers no fewer than six trim levels. The First Edition doesn’t count because all of them sold out. $28,500 is the starting price of the Base trim level with the two-door body style, seven-speed manual, and 2.3-liter EcoBoost. The four-door Badlands and Wildtrak with the four-door option retail from $44,590 and $49,475.

Did "Lisa" get fired today?

Probably the only one to think that. John and Lisa both posted on the very public Facebook - that is on the internet forever.

Actually, I think they both agree with each other. There is clearly another post in the thread that they are responding to. The screen grab just cuts it off.

I find it hard to believe they’re going to build 600 a shift at full production.

If it's already all over the interwebs then no. Hopefully those are pseudonyms anyways.

I doubt it.

Just curious...why?

Why? How many do you think they can do in a shift?
