Factory was shutdown for 2 weeks in July
Actually I may have to take this back. For model year 22 the factory's annual shutdown was in July but MTC scheduling e-mails this year show there may be a shutdown the weeks of 8/7 and 8/14. We will have to see the next two weeks.

Hard for me to believe they will have a shutdown in both July and August. So did 3rd shift start in July? If so why did they not produce more?

They produced 10211 in July 2023, compared to 3578 in July 2022. They also produced 12399 Bronco Sports in July 2023, compared to 6382 in July 2022. Total plant production went to 22610 from 9960. If they *did* still have the 2-week shutdown this July, they produced dramatically more with the third shift.

As you note, the next two weeks will be interesting...
