Yup, just heard from my sister. They found out last night. Two shifts out of three for the next 2 weeks.Chip shortage worsens, Ford to cut shifts in Louisville and halt some productions in Kansas City
Ford will stop making pickups at its Kansas City Assembly Plant for the next two weeks. Shifts will be cut at two more truck plants in Michigan, and Louisville, Ky.

If all of these businesses that depend on a supply of foreign made chips don't see this as a wakeup call and bring production home they are all morons. I know its easier said than done, and we may need to learn how to produce them en masse again, but it needs to happen. I see it as a financial as well as national security issue.
Totally agree. Especially with the Chinese threatening to invade Taiwan sooner than laterIf all of these businesses that depend on a supply of foreign made chips don't see this as a wakeup call and bring production home they are all morons.

TSMC and Intel are building chip foundries in Arizona.
Depends on what happens with the chip factories in the next two weeks. Obviously, reducing a shift by 40 hours a week, will impact the number of vehicles produced. I thi k some of that was addressed by cancelling production scheduling today. I imagine over the next couple days, some emails might go out pushing some current schedules back unless Ford had the foresight to schedule the last two weeks with this reduction in mind. Which I think we can all agree is not likely. They are scheduled for only 2 weeks and will produce 2/3 the amount of trucks these next 2 weeks.So what are we looking at for ramifications, what kind of setback for those in the Q and waiting???

Based on the latest clown show the Chinese would be stupid not to leverage our current state of affairs.Totally agree. Especially with the Chinese threatening to invade Taiwan sooner than later
