Was just watching this and knew it would be shared here as well.

Happy Pappy's Day to all the dads out there.

Extraordinary.

i toured a Dodge Shadow plant in ‘87. What a difference nearly 40 years later. Particularly.. the reduction of human workforce.

i've been waiting months for a missing wire harness for BCM replacement

i am tempted to go to this factory to get it.

The robot overlords would sense a new part, quickly re-engineer and you‘d get installed as a BCM harness

A lot of talk about ergonomics, which is very understandable, but I can’t help to notice some very big guts working on building the truck. Maybe they could use a couple squats each day lol

Still boggles my mind that there aren’t 10x more buyers of these trucks. It’s ahead of its time. I hope Ford sticks with it long term.

I feel even better about my truck after watching the video.

Nice!
Super long video, but definitely worth the watch! It is pretty amazing how our trucks are built.

You are waiting on a harness or BCM replacement?

I was invited to the Austin Tesla Factory when they released the Cybertruck Nov 30 2023. You can eat off the floor.
That night there was an afterparty at a large restaurant, open to everyone.

Let's just say I got the Booby prize, actually just a photo with the Booby prize.

Wanna be Cybergirls.. From outerspace or out of space?

I really hope that Out of Spec can put pressure on Ford to not only talk about OTA updates but actually have them work. When I bought my used 2023 Lightning from a Ford dealer, it was still on the factory sync version with updates available for basically every module.
What I would love to see from Ford:

• Allow users to check for updates and actually allow them to install them if they are generally available. I understand the need for a rollout process, but don't you want your most passionate customers to be able to update early?
• Don't release press releases about features of the truck if they aren't generally available, looking at you Android Auto / Google Maps integration
• Don't let a dealer sell a vehicle that doesn't have the latest updates for all modules. There is nothing worse than getting a vehicle that is missing features that Ford is boasting about. If not enforce it, allow the customer to request it before pickup.

dealer hasn't even given me a part number; initially it was the BCM itself, now its a WH.
