Where was I making up numbers. Have you not been paying attention the last few weeks when they scheduled an absolute shit ton of vehicles. The can do 820 a day average, because they did that the 1st week of August. Do you think that Ford is going to sit around and not address the logistical problems while keeping their thumbs firmly in their ass?!?Those numbers are so irrelevant to the supply issues at hand... and the ships waiting outside of every port with goods to unload... AND the logistics of adding more employees when just months ago they were shut down and employees don't just appear fully trained and ready to work today, yesterday or tomorrow, so you can add another shift.
You can make up what every numbers you want, even when using simple statistics you MUST use retaliative data and Ford doesn't have the ability to just add a third shift. OR build every order as ordered or they would; damn if you understood the hours it's taking engineers to figure out how to build 800 units a day with all of the supply issues you might then understand.
For fuck's shake... I'm getting sick of people just making up numbers and assuming a major company is dumber then them... OH WHY DIDN'T we think to add a third shift so we can sell more units and make more money?
That's why I asked for any real numbers known, NOT your bullshit estimates of what they should be able to do... if they could they would!
They have the ability and the capability to add a third shift, if and when they want. You may be correct in that maybe all the logistical issues are not yet hammered out, but how long do you expect them to screw it up?
By the way,

June 15th 2021 - "Michigan Assembly is currently running on two of three shifts with 3,000 employees, including 2,800 hourly United Auto Workers members. Union leaders for the plant are optimistic the vehicle will be a hit, pushing Ford to add a third shift to the facility, which also produces the midsize Ranger pickup. "
