Flat Rock is done for the year.

Doubt it very much.

Condensed version:
1. Covid shutdowns/slowdowns
2. Auto industry cut back on their chip orders at the start of the pandemic (forecasting poor sales)
3. Everyone and their grandmother going remote/streaming/zoom/WfH (lots of increased demand in devices and hardware that need chips)
4. Increased capacity costs billions and takes 18+ months to spin up
5. Long drought conditions in Taiwan (further straining the ability to make chips)
6. Auto industry tries to order chips, but are waiting in line now because they are low man on the totem pole

That’s not a very exciting explanation. Can’t you come up with a conspiracy theory to get this thread really going?!

Just another internet bs rumor to get everyone pissed off. Not sure why something like this was even posted without information to back it up.

It is open.

Thank you Snoopy.

It can be frustrating when a thread gets somewhat derailed, so for those that may have missed it, here is the reply we were all waiting for.

Understood, but my source (who works there) is saying otherwise. When this goes down, I have no idea. I will continue to press for answers.

If he can't substantiate this, I will report that too (and never trust him again).

But over time, this guy has always been right. So standby

Have you ever considered being born sooner?

Later, please. I have a few things I'd like to revise...

I have had my car on order since 3/15 with an original ship date of 5/20. Ship date changed to 6/17, 7/15, then N/A. Last week after the plant reopened, I received an update that the car is in production, and received the window sticker. Still no delivery date, I'm guessing they will be finishing the cars based off the priority codes?

I hope you are right, he is now looking for a UAW document to back it up.

The instant the "source" was determined to be a UAW person - all credibility died, IMHO. Maybe I'm reading that wrong tho... But the UAW folks haven't had the best trackrecord for the accuracy of their "leaks" and statements...

He can identify as being older, bam problem solved!

My two centavos..

Tom has a proven reliable source(s) and if this one has a perfect track record, I wouldn't be too quick to discount it.

Folks, due to the possible outcome this may have for all those waiting on MY 21 vehicles, I asked my source to yesterday please corroborate his information, to get me something I that I can use to prove this information. I gave him yesterday to come up with something, but nothing came. This morning I pressed this individual to the point, and he had nothing. So at this point in time, I am going to have to agree with @Snoopy49 and chalk it up to a rumor.

I sincerely apologize if this messed anyone up in any way. I was trying to relay information as I received it from a person who I have known and trusted over many years. This person has always provided accurate information in the past and I let him have it this morning. In short, I wont take his word as the gospel anymore.

Any flogging would be deserved, but please understand I was passing along information from someone who has always been reliable in the past. Who knows, maybe he is right, but at this time, based upon others with sources too, I think this one has been debunked.

My apologies.

That said, I would still expect plenty of semi-random production hiccups and stalls for the rest of the year, most likely.....

Thread should be deleted or locked due to outcome.

I agree. I'll report it.
