Not good news. I have it on good authority that Flat Rock will be closed again w/c (week commencing) July 12th and w/c (week commencing) July 19th. 😞


(edited to make it clear its 2 weeks)

(edited again to, hopefully, make it even clearer)

Such conflicting info. On another thread it was said by friend that works at FlatRock that they were back to 7 days a week and no more shutdowns.😞

They were!

This is new info from today. To be honest, I think we can expect intermittent closures for the rest of the year 😞

The 12th to the 19th is one week, unless I'm not understanding something.

Do you know why they're idling the line?

I think he means the weeks of the 12th and 19th, that would be 2 weeks.

If this is true - it is very disappointing to say the least

I've edited the original post to make it a bit clearer.

This is still down to the chip shortage. I can only imaging the headache someone's got trying to allocate these chips to the various plants.

We have no idea what w/c means. Please keep your audience in mind.

Wow, I had no idea w/c (week commencing) and w/e (week ending) wasn't used in the US. My apologies.

Just for clarity, commencing means beginning and ending means finishing :like:

So randomly I was checking my order tracker and my window sticker is up today. Blend Date is 7/7/21. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing with this updated news :cwl: At least I know its not far away even if its after the next pause.

Sucks, I get why its happening but doesnt make it any less sucky.

None of the big three dealers in town have any new cars. Only new trucks, vans and SUVs. They're all near the street and the back lot is empty.
