Oac98

You’re welcome! Sad to see everything gone, it almost feels like a plant closure with the duration of downtime we’re facing!

Also, you probably have to adhere to non disclosure so I don’t expect much information from you. It’s clear that you’re part of the program.

I really really hope you guys do a Lincoln version. There was a u760, I hope that also becomes a reality in like 3 years!

R.I.P North American Edge!

End of the line for the Edge at OAC, it was a great 17 year run!

I agree it should be the C2 Edge Nautilus. I still believe the 3 row thing is happening I hope somehow they get a hybrid into our plant whenever we reopen. The plan will likely change again, I hope it’s for a greater good. I agree that an empty plant and 3 years downtime is more than enough to figure out whatever the heck they’re gonna do.

I like what you’re saying but I have a question. You seem strong in your belief that the 3 rows are dead, why do you believe this is the case. Farley just blabbed on about battery chemistry, I like your scenario better but it seems they are still working on these products.

I just finished today and body shop is now empty. The last of the Edges will be done tomorrow. It was a great run. I hope this 3 row is successful for us whenever Ford refines the batteries.

I heard the OAC launch team is back in Dearborn, any truth to this?? If you’re allowed to divulge.

Totally understandable!

I feel the same way, Ford is my first choice as I work for this corporation but my loyalty is waning abit. I have an old Ford and I plan on driving it as long as I can

It is disheartening, Farley is saying all the right things but I see minimal improvements. What is going on with the engineering and suppliers as to why they can’t seem to mitigate this recall issue. Aren’t all those engines eco boost?? I know there have been issues with eco boost engines.

I really can’t wait for the day when ford isn’t the recall leader and quality really improves.

Mexico and Canada have free trade agreements with Europe. I know the small EVs will not be built in Canada. I mentioned Mexico because Fords Mach-E projections of 200,000 haven’t been met. I know the Oakville 3 row was once slated to go into various facilities including Cuatitlan. They could easily increase plant utilization by putting those two products there. I once heard that the Mach E was supposed to go to Oakville but I find that one hard to believe. The next UAW contract isn’t til 2028 so things will be interesting. They’re ahead of the game and probably have an idea where they will be allocating some of these upcoming vehicles although we know things can change based on market conditions.

Ok I guess more info will be out in due process.
