    The EU wants cars to self-limit to the speed limit?

    Except the new rules would make it mandatory and not very easy to defeat.

    At least in Germany there will be no max. speed limit on the Autobahn, in the next few years (according to the government). We already have a lot of sections with a limit of 120 or 100 km/h.

    But there will be a max. limit one day. We should enjoy the Autobahn as long as we're allowed, every other road already has a strict limit (~15-31 mph in city/town, 45-60 on highways "we usually call them Landstraße ;) " and 60 mph to unlimited on the Autobahn). And I think it works pretty well, here.

    I had the new VW Arteon for a year. It has a new generation active cruise control which detects any kind of signs (like speed limits) and adjusts the speed of the cruise control automatically. For example if you set 60 mph and the car detects a 30mph sign it'll automatically slow down by itself. But you can reset the speed to 60 at any time.

    So you're not forced to drive like 30 miles, it just helps you to not be faster than allowed.

    I'm really sorry... I didn't want to be rude, in the last post. I thought you want me to repost my VIN again, not the info, totally missed that. (sure you asked for info... absolutely my fault!)  I did not want to upset anyone. Again I'm sorry if I got that wrong?

    Anyhow, thanks for your help, so far. Really helped me a lot.

    It changed today. :) My car should be produced on 24th of January, but because of the missing parts in Flat Rock it was delayed. The production started 14th of February, but parked at the plant because of missing steering wheels.

    But I had luck and we found another car, I'll get it next week. New config: Mustang GT Race-Red with PP2 (Europe Config.), Magne Ride, black Stripes and rear wing, produced in October. I'm so excited!

    Nice to hear that you will get a mustang, soon. But on the other hand it's pretty bad, that you're not getting the car you ordered.

    I'm really curious when things will get back to normal at the plant.

    Hey Andy,

    looks like a lot of people from the german forum also signed in here. Maybe because of the much better informations about some issues, Ford recently has or just because the guys from this forum are more kind than the "angry germans" ;)

    Im not even sure that this is related to the strike, that's just my theory. I actually have no clue where most of the parts come from, unless I'm actually there to read the shipping label which since I work at a different plant, I'm not. 

    No matter if it's related to the strike, fact is that they are missing? Problem is that ford is apparently depending on one supplier.

    If there's no other one, we just have to wait.

    I was wrong about the racetrack apparently 

    they’re using it to store all the cars built without steering wheels 

    it was full by the end of the night shift on Tuesday morning 

    Okay I hope they don't run out of storage space, pulled it up on google maps ;)

    There are a few pretty large parking lots right next to the plant. I follow the news about the strike in matamoros, but it's not quite

    sure what's actually happening there right now. Some are working some are not. Some will apparently get 20% more, others now want that, too. Big mess.

     

    The german dealers don't know anything about that...

    Hi Vins, servus!

    No - it looks like that was (or is) not a joke. If you make yourself dependent from one supplier, you'll (in this case Ford) get what you have payed for. But of course I'm very sad, that I have to wait longer for my dream. But I can't change something in this situation.

    Same like you and your wait for the Bullitt. We have to be thankful to get some answers here, because I haven't found these information at other sources. And I hope that this supplier-problem will be solved fast.

    Hi Rainer,

    I'm working at a VW plant, I thought Volkswagen can't be the only one, who's absolutely depending on a single supplier. We're building engines at our plant ( 3 to 16 cylinder), often have the same problems. Parts like injection valves, turbochargers are bought from external suppliers, if they have a problem our lines stand still.

    Good morning, and excuse me for being a bit thick.

    When you say "It's not going to last long", are you referring to the production slowdown or the happy dance the prior poster was talking about?

     

    I think he's talking about the production. A few posts before "It's not going to last long", he said: Yes, they are back to work; and this is not going to last long. Sure they're working, but I think, still with those dummy steering wheels.

    I don' know much about the processes at ford, but I work for a German carmaker. If there's an issue like this, the cars will be "fixed" according to the actual production order.
