Agree with you, but I think the problem for Ford is the limitation of common elements spread among all EV model lines (cells & chips) consolidated to specific assemblies is throttling the ideal ramp up potential, once they have the full picture of our orders after wave 6, down range scheduling could get better if resources also improve.I've never been involved in vehicle manufacturing but in my experience in mfg scheduling the throughput usually ramps up over the first month or two by 25-50%. A lot of it is simply increase uptime of equipment as you get the bugs worked out. If they're starting at 1000/wk I wouldn't be surprised to hear it's 1500 by summer. Pioneer74 can obviously comment more specifically about Ford scheduling.
