Nightmare i want the grille on that silver car in your signature! Looks sick

FBodfather has stated it a few times already - it's all about quality. They are really trying to build one of the highest quality Chevrolet cars ever built! This takes time. If you want them to crank up the line and build 400 per day (which is very possible), think about how much less time a worker would have to do his job on your car.

As it is now, guys like The Mole (Quality Control) can spend more time on each car to make sure it's perfect. If you crank up the line, The Mole can only spend half the amount of time on each car compared to what he spends on each one now.

Production is ramping up but the math does not equate to 5000. Wishful thinking and fantasies wont make it true.

The tracker has been an awesome tool, but I don't think it is always up to date. The Google Earth plugin version is even further behind, so you really can't use that as your basis.

ok after reading your responses i called my buddy again for clarity, last night (April 10th) he was working on VIN 5250 and forward. Lets just say he's in the bodyshop. It takes a while to go from the body to completion.
So while he might be working in the 5000's, there could be a float of cars and car bodies with paint in the high hundreds. Maybe a grand if you include storage. So perhaps actual vins are in the 3/4000's. I will have him visit the end of the line and see what the vins are..BTW they were down 2 days last week because they ran out of steering pumps.

Going to retract a lot of what I said about "The Mole." Listen, it sounds like your information is likely legit. I believe you for what it is worth, but how are you able to release this kind of information and "The Mole" could not? Are you in a different department? Aren't you afraid of getting in trouble? If your neck is on the line, I would ask that you please don't, as really #01 - We'll still have to wait anyway, and #02 - I definitely don't want to see you get into any trouble. I was just about to be complacent being silent but now you have rekindled my interest and thirst for knowledge.

Thank you kindly!

His "buddy" works there, not him. Just don't get him in trouble!

Aww interesting. Would explain a few things. Also today 4-10 I think is a holiday for them.

Yes we are off today. I am putting in a new deck in my fishing boat while the wife makes dinner for when her family arrives tonight. "Dead beat brother in law too, fun"
