So we’ve blown past the previous timeline of when the flat rock plant and when production was supposed to resume. And who knows how long they will continue to build respirators instead of cars. Does anyone have any info on when things might start back up???

It is suppose to start back up on May 4th, but it is in the hands of the MI Governor and the UAW at this point. There was talk that she may be thinking about extending the lock down.

Her Republican legislature has stated it will not support shutdown past May 1st. especially with the President pushing to open business up.
I seems to mainly come down to Ford providing personal safety measures to satisfy the UAW

Per a friend at FRAP - 5/4 is the target. Safety standards and cleaning protocols will need to be addressed. The timing needs to make
sense for all given the "curve" and its trajectory. Don't put people in harms way so i can have a new car. Let's read the data and see where this
is going. Wayne county (Detroit) is one of the hardest hit counties in the US>

Ford is building some outstanding PPE. I would think they would have some PPE for their workers and suppliers to wear to protect themselves.

Our rather big governor JB just pushed the stay at home thing out even more, end of May is what it is now here in IL. I would be surprised if we see gt500s being made before then.

When is a stay at home not a stay at home order? They opened up some IL. state parks, how do you go there and stay home. There are several other modification that make this extension more of a plan to slowly open things up. This is not as severe as it sounds.

Yea I was surprised you didn’t just post it here instead of making basically a duplicate thread
It was breaking news worthy of a new thread. Thanks for the comment though.

Well damnit :/
Sorry for the bad news, but I think people are more important than a damn car. I think it is the right decision.
