  1. First few thousand I believe. REVC has built 2,000 units. All of them have gone right back to ford, don’t think any are customer trucks. Job #2 on the 26th should mark when that starts.
  2. No catwalk in the new building. Possibly in the future after expansion in summer of 23
  3. Ford desperately needs EV capacity. A central plant that produces strictly EV is the best choice. A new modern plant that can pivot quickly based on model adoption. Dearborn does not have the capacity to build nearly 400,000 ICE and 80,000 BEV units annually as the planned.
  4. That’s my assumption, with all the other plants down, it seems they’ve been re allocating chips for modules to complete F-150’s off the line. This down week/weeks will allow some time to catch-up on those ones sitting. Unfortunately I don’t have any insight into Ford’s process of completing the trucks. I do know there are A LOT. Some numbers floating around are close to 50k.
  5. I’m sure they’ll use the time to catch up, but they’re using a 3rd party to finish them. No UAW workers from DTP have been offered OT to finish them. Can confirm though that for the last two weeks every truck has been shipped complete to dealerships. True, from what I understand, it’s to prepare for Raptor and Tremor launch, which are both still on track.
  6. DTP will run full production week of May 17th. Then week of May 24th down to one shift, with B and C crews laid off. They’re claiming for “maintenance” but I think it’s more chip related
  7. All I’ve heard is, body shop is scheduled to build a few Monday morning. So maybe they’re just building cabs, to bring to the pilot plant
  8. I’m honestly not sure. They could be prototypes, or they could just be scrapped. Either way, it’s an encouraging sign that launch is getting closer. I’ll definitely agree that Texas State Fair is looking like a likely debut!
  9. Yea, P702 is the next generation F-150. Generally around 1 year out is when we start seeing validation units/ pre production builds
  10. This upcoming Monday, Dearborn Truck is running a few P702 units. Seems that maybe Ford is fast tracking launch for early next year?
  11. Bill Ford already confirmed hybrid/BEV F150 will be built at Dearborn Truck. They have already extended chassis lines 1&2. I assume it’s for battery install.
  12. They’ll get there, might take another month or two. Regardless, theres no way they’ll be building 1200 a day anytime soon. Considering Bronco hasn’t even debuted yet. It’s highly unlikely they’ll add another shift before Bronco production starts. Unless demand for Ranger is through the roof. Which I doubt, but hope for.
  13. You’re right. Final seems to run 650-670 per shift. That’s usually a 10.5 or 10.7
  14. 680 in 10 hours is goal rate. It’s not uncommon to run 10.5 and push out 700+. At least in Body Shop.
  15. At DTP, you can only move between final/paint/body if you get a bid job. Unless you're low seniority, then the company will move you from one building to another without much fight from the union.
