silvrsvt Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Normal production is about 60 units an hour for vehicle...if they have two shifts that could be about 960 units a day if they got out vehicles like that each hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAP job per hour is around 87. LAP is the fastest production plant Ford has. Explore days there we ran 95 to 99 per hour but now have more automation in so robots really can't keep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a retired paintguy, I haven't seen the color yet. Renditions on line and in the car magazines are frequently off. The color displays at dealerships or your city's Auto Show, are fairly accurate. I've handled many a "Paint Standard", about the size of an index card. Still only gives you an idea of what it might look like on a full vehicle. Cinnabar is the ore used to obtain mercury. Cinnabar was an early red pigment. With the toxicity, it is certain the paint will not contain cinnabar. Would have been a great tie in for the departed Mercury product line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exit32 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I don't believe any 2023 Corsairs have shipped yet. The Louisville Assembly Plant appears to be in "hold" mode for some reason. My wife ordered a 2023 Corsair Reserve last September and recently received her 5th notice of delayed production. For what it's worth, here's a summary of this adventure from the beginning: 21-Sep-2022: Order placed at local Lincoln dealership 21-Sep-2022: Order confirmation received from Lincoln 17-Nov-2022: Scheduled for production week of 09-Jan-2023 17-Nov-2022: VIN assigned: 5LMCJ2DA1PULxxxxx 21-Nov-2022: Priority Code changed from 19 to 02 by Lincoln 21-Nov-2022: Subwoofer delete confirmed; $250 price reduction 10-Jan-2023: Production delayed until week of 23-Jan-2023 17-Jan-2023: Production delayed (again) until week of 06-Feb-2023 25-Jan-2023: Production delayed (again) until week of 13-Feb-2023 02-Feb-2023: Production not scheduled per Lincoln online tracking 03-Feb-2023: Production delayed (again) until week of 21-Feb-2023 09-Feb-2023: Production delayed (again) until week of 27-Feb-2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Poke Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Well, my order history for a 2023 PHEV Escape is as follows: 10 January 2023: Placed an order for a 2023 PHEV Escape at local Ford dealership 10 January 2023: Order confirmation email received from Ford Motor Company That's it. ? My order was placed exactly one month ago today, thus my history is not as long as yours, Exit32, but I hope you get good news on your Corsair soon.

rrandall0213@gmail.com Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 There was another launch update issued by the plant manager a few days ago. I haven’t been able to find it online yet. Hopefully someone leaks it soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question for anyone who knows: Is info on when an assembly plant is in operation and producing vehicles vs. when it is idle and not producing vehicles considered proprietary corporate information the automaker does not want publicly disclosed? It seems to me (an outsider) that it would be rather obvious when a plant is producing vehicles as opposed to when it is idle. If nothing else, the employee parking lot would be full or mostly empty.

1984Poke Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Thanks to all for your responses. So...the question remains: Has the Louisville Assembly Plant been producing Escapes and Corsairs the last week or two? And is it expected to produce vehicles this upcoming week?

Harley Lover Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 More specifics: Quote Ford Motor Co. idled its Louisville Assembly Plant this week over a software issue that's affecting the recently freshened Escape crossover, according to the plant's building chairman. Workers in Louisville were told late last week the plant would be idled Feb. 13-19, according to a memo obtained by Automotive News. In a separate message, the plant's building chairman, Brandon Reisinger, said it was a software issue with the vehicle's cluster. "We're on a day-by-day basis right now and I know that's frustrating," Reisinger told employees. "The issue we've got, the cluster, is a software issue. It's not a hardware issue. If it were to get out, it would not be something that would endanger anybody … but it would have the vehicles coming back to the dealership." Reisinger noted the plant intended to make up the lost units of production when work resumes, which is expected to be Monday. https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/2023-ford-escape-production-idled-over-software-issue?adobe_mc=MCMID%3D64909206779714911340930067206182659056|MCORGID%3D138FFF2554E6E7220A4C98C6%40AdobeOrg|TS%3D1676489208&CSAuthResp=1%3A%3A248300%3A20957%3A24%3Asuccess%3AE5FFE883FB17C7FD769C0882818D0FCF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe quality can be Job 1. I agree with you about preferring the plant stop production for a few days to sort out/correct the problem rather than send vehicles out with a known glitch that will only irritate the owners of those brand-new vehicles and require a trip to the dealership for a fix. I would say that Ford needs to make quality "Job 1" for every vehicle and at every assembly plant. (I know...easy to say but hard to do.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
