I wonder if #tesla is doing the same thing. Not likely.
Ford to halt production of electric F-150 Lightning next month until 2025
Ford plans to halt production of the F-150 Lightning until early next year to address high inventories and reduce losses of the all-electric pickup trucks.
The automaker on Thursday confirmed the seven-week shutdown would occur at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in suburban Detroit from Nov. 18 until Jan. 6, including previously planned holiday downtime at the end of the year.
"We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability," Ford said in an emailed statement.
The roughly 730 hourly workers at the Michigan plant will be placed on temporary layoff. Ford said not all of the workers will be laid off for the entire duration of the downtime.
