That might actually be good news. I would have bet that the hybrid hold up would be batteries. Transmission supply just may improve long before EV and hybrid batteries ramp up. And for the million dollar question, why can’t Ford get transmissions?

Ford is building its own hybrid transmissions and they are behind.
they usually buy them from others But not the hybrid.

Take anything from customer service with a grain of salt. They are not well informed (not really their fault) and the only information they have is what their computer tells them. Some of them do try and get additional information, but not all sources are equal.

Rare earth magnets in the motors that are in the transmission are in short supply.
