I thought Farley was a man with a competent plan but as you have stated the same old issues seem to be creeping up. Farley needs to get this house in order since he is seen as a good CEO. I expect him and his team to rectify at least some of these issues and improve the situation with this company and the way they operate at all levels.

Hopefully Ford may just learn from their mistake and put a bit more effort into quality control. I hope we get good products and a good contract as well. I’m really interested to see what forthcoming products are in the pipeline. Still waiting to get a glimpse of whatever new products they’re gonna build at OAC AND elsewhere!

I really am starting to question Ford’s direction lately. I really hope what ever Jim Farley is planning here that it works. I feel like Ford is in abit of disarray lately. All these recalls, questionable quality, this dealer mess the whole BEV plan. Maybe I’m wrong I don’t know.

That makes sense, if it happens we shall see.

What other plants do you speculate may close??? Any in North America???

We have had some incidents over the years up here as well and it makes me wonder why security doesn’t catch these things. I know all these plants have tons of cameras and plant security. I guess they can’t catch everything. That’s insane that catalytic converters we’re being stolen and a super duty I guess it’s low priority for the cops as well.

Unacceptable poor security but then again maybe it was some sort of inside job! This should NEVER happen at these assembly plants we all got security at our plants they need to do their damn job!

After being down for 5 weeks up here at OAC all we’ve been hearing is speculation. We came back this week and are supposed to work up to our scheduled 2 week July shutdown. Now we’re hearing that MAY be extended. That article was inaccurate.

This escape has that fusion, Evos , edge face. Looks better than the bland product they have on the roads now.

I agree with you, you’re basically saying that Ford is trying to quiet any potential labor strife next year. Fulfilling promised investments in Michigan and now OHAP who had been promised electric EV crossovers removed. So Flat Rock will remain one shift going forward???

Congrats to all the Michigan and Ohio investments

What you’re saying is interesting but isn’t the Edge a goner altogether in all formats??? I don’t believe the Nautilus is dead like you said. You’re not the only one overthinking all of these future product allocations.

Pretty much

I won’t be one but surprised when they make changes to this plan again. Announce the project in 2020 and then little information after. There are surveyors working in OAC right now so somethings happening but minimal info.

We were told we were gonna get 5 EVs as you guys already know. So maybe that does mean 2 platforms and several different tophats. As someone who works at OAC I’m kind of pissed off that nothing has TRULY been confirmed yet for OAC from FOMOCO themselves. Contract was sept 2020 how come we haven’t heard the actual vehicles coming here only speculation! Ford has been playing musical chairs with this aviator and explorer EV which is supposed to be different from ICE versions. I know they plan ahead and know way more than we do but I’ve said it several times as have you guys that the plans keep changing! We don’t even actually know when the last edge rolls of the line and the retooling will begin. We’ve been down almost a month I say shut the fucker down and start the retooling already!!

All of this is just an ongoing mess, we up here at Oakville were down this week of the 9th and we will not be returning til May 30th. Hopefully they get those explorers and f-150s out now! We’re missing other parts too looms seatbelts this supply chain mess will not finish for the next few years I predict!

Great job ford let’s hope your forthcoming electrics have the same performance.

You guys can buy a Chinese built ford I WILL NOT!

We know there is a BEV Corsair and Aviator so what do you think will be the other Lincoln BEVs then??? I believe the Nautilus nameplate isn’t dead yet. Maybe ICE version is I think there will be an electric one.

Well the Edge supply chain got hit this week and we will be laid off the week of May 9th.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again good ole FOMOCO loves to change plans!

Ya I get it they have to build what is in the highest demand profit segment.

How many more damn wagons does ford need?? Would’ve rather seen a new actual fusion I get the sedan thing but whatever

Maybe they’ll build it at FLATROCK. Will it be EV hybrid and gas??? Gues we will find out soon!

Where in the US or Mexico do you think it will be built. It may be some form of edge replacement. Flat Rock??
