Update on Mach-E launch progress from engineering friends in Mexico

[pb3]

I stand corrected. Wish it was made in the USA though.

My 2011 Fiesta was made in the same plant and the assembly, fit, and finish were flawless. I have no qualms about my Mach E being assembled there.

Ford Mach-E is innovative in all aspects, in addition to being the first model derived from the Mustang and being made in Mexico, at the Cuautitlán plant, it is also the first to have women in its manufacturing processes.

not that super clear but a meeting about the plant and woman.

Yes, although it would probably cost $thousands more if it were.

Good to hear.

And, can you also agree that the better team won the football game Friday night? (Hope I am not pushing my luck). I was at Illinois for grad school back in the day when the team was known as The Fumbling Illini and students were welcome to take coolers to the games.

Yes they did dammit. I was there (1967 - 69) for undergraduate pre-dentistry and the games were pretty ugly. We had the Chief to cheer for though.

Subs are crewed by stupid people. That is why they don't put any windows on them. Who would volunteer for duty on a ship designed to sink. We were about as dumb as guys that volunteer to jump out of a perfectly good airplane and get shot at while they parachute to the ground.

Never buy a car built on a Friday or a Monday ??

I would have to disagree, I had a Monday car (a long time ago, a 1978 Oldsmobile Starfire SX) and it was finally loaded onto a tow truck after 10 years. It had been hit from behind, while stopped, by a car going "at least 55 mph" according to the investigating officer.

It’s a very old joke that goes back to the malaise era of the big 3.

You mean the era that Musk is reintroducing by pushing his people at Fremont too hard...

PS - Great minds think alike for education! OSKEE-WOW-WOW !

I just watched the Marcos video on production of the Mach E and feel a whole lot better. Definitely like the Wixom Plant in Michigan except A LOT more female workers. Don't want to sound sexist but I personally like this as I believe females are more meticulous and pay a little more attention to details. Please don't blast me as this is just my impression.

I test drove an F150 that must've been in the middle of holiday break and someone came back to assembly and stuck the wrong engine in. It was a tiny 2.7 liter, no way that's factory!?. (In jest of course, the 2.7 is amazing)

Wonder if it was made in Canada if we would hear the same. Never had a prob with Mexico; for me it is better than made in China. We are all on the the same continent; in fact I think I can walk to Mexico and never get my feet wet. I thought the new free trade had something about pay in it, this time around, in an attempt to try to equalize that? Hope the employees feel that they are all treated right. That has a reflection on production quality for sure. So far sounds like not a prob.

Is that just the majority or all them? Want to make sure I understand the stereotype .

@ChasingCoral , they sent your car to China!

Silly rabbit, that's a GT!

But I can understand why folks wouldn’t recognize it as a GT with that 2020 Mach-E sign in front of it.
