    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I'd prefer a V8 (sound etc) So V6 is minimum to me. A 4 banger..no way..from the videos I've seen and heard no thanks..But I'm used to having at least a Hemi in all my vehicles an FCA employee. I'd personally be embarrassed to tell anyone if they asked what's under the hood? Um a 4 cylinder ..

    Interesting Factory / Build info

    Ideally each station is not supposed to send their job to the next station unless it is 100% complete and 100% quality product. At Chrysler they wanted us to tread the next zone or operator as our" customer "and you wouldn't send junk or something incomplete to the next station. Repairs if...

    Interesting Factory / Build info

    We had jobs where there'd be 5 or more people in the same area touching the same car. Your working ontop of each other. Most jobs are like one after another say with 10feet between each job on same side.. then you have other side and sometimes people infront and behind the car..lol

    I was told I'd get my car next year 2024. No specific date. Who knows. Maybe they'll add a 3rd shift. I don't think legally or environmentally they can push production past 2028 ,from what I read.

    Has the waiting list pretty much evaporated?

    I was told by a dealer that the stick shift viewing mess underneath, would be an option going forward or might only be available on FE cars. That should be a standard design element. Hope lotus doesn't start nickel and diming us for that .
