Mind = blown: Turns out other companies can't make vehicle right now either!

[Rick Astley]

In reading the comments and chatter on here over the past year from the best and brightest, you all had convinced me that the only company incompetent enough to not be running full speed was Ford.

Yet it seems perhaps other companies are incompetent as well?

Three GM plants making their heavy duty trucks, and light duty trucks will go silent. They have also de-contented vehicles just to put something on the lot to sell because of parts and chip shortages.

On top of that, a friend who owns a body shop has 3 (Three!) Rubicons that all need driveline components but every part from FCA is back-ordered 45-65 days (as an estimate, he is not confident those parts will actually arrive within 65 days).

I mean, what is happening in the world of globally sourced, JIT inventory mass manufacturing? Did all these companies poach Ford executives just to jump on the "incompetent bandwagon"? I dunno ladies and gents. This might indicate that there's greater issues at hand than just Webasto in the world.

Who's with me and wants to cancel their Bronco order to get a Corvette???? At least GM knows how to launch a vehicle (am I right!), Corvette launch has been essentially perfect, that MY19 unit you slapped down a deposit on should darken your driveway before 2022 if you're connected high enough up their food chain.

People that purchased a Bronco do not care of other companies relevant problems. Vested interest is where you "invest" time and money.

welcome to supply chain where tf have you been the last year?

Peterbilt and Kenworth can't get enough particulate matter sensors to fill the needs of existing trucks and new trucks. They're going to start producing new trucks that don't have them, and then be recalled later when parts become available. Wild times we're in right now.

I use the comments from B6g to educate me on how companies should fulfill their personal and legally binding production guarantees to their customers.

Do you think the source might skewing the results?

Google Force Majeure. Cancels all legally binding guarantees...... Most supply chains are declaring this, this year.

Common sense and a modicum of intelligence is not welcome here. Be gone with your logic!

Sorry I’m lost. Honda and Jeep’s Are being built I’m sure other people could chime in with some other companies? But you did say Ford and GM so there you have it.

What chip shortage? BMW hasn’t stopped production on their SUV’s at all here.

**runs and hides**

 

[Dubsilk]

There is a difference with supply chain shortages and delays and bad product that they just can’t right (MIC tops).

Trying buying a bike or bike parts, it’s even worse. As far as I have seen or heard, really only Toyota kept their suppliers and supplies on line. They have a long history of being good partners to suppliers. Most others, not so much.

Oh, you savvy, silver-tongued devil coming in here with your facts and logic. How dare you, sir!?

Anyone and everyone knows this is limited to the blue oval alone.
My neighbor's yard gnomes told me last night during a drunken game of high-stakes Yahtzee that Stellantis, Honda, and Tesla have been paying shipyards to keep FoMoCo parts ships off-shore to drive them to bankruptcy.

 

[De Brus]

Now do Stellantis

Legally binding???? I’d love to see guarantees also?
