Yep, this is mentioned in other threads. The questions continue, however. One theory is that this suspension of MME production in Cuauititan is likely to only be one week, so Ford can finish off the thousands of "built" but incomplete MME that are filling their temp storage lots and more. A competing theory is that this is a serious "shutdown" because of a significant and lasting microchip shortage. Some commenters in this forum say their estimated delivery date's just bumped out about 3 months, suggesting the latter. Other commenters say they're still getting their "built" or "in transit" email notifications. Ford's stock didn't react much, so further doubt on which it is. I want to be hopeful about it but cynicism creeps in. Day 62 of predicted 196-day wait, or is it 280-day wait or whenever? Time will tell; Ford sure won't.
