Normally, the assembly line runs 11.6 Corvettes per hour w/90 total completed at the end of the 8hr shift. There are 4 minutes, 30 second per assembly station & it takes a car 13 hours on the general assembly line to be completed.

thks for effort
`The Quality Team was there and they worked to address many of the reported “issues” that were reported after roughy 2,700 cars were produced prior to the shutdown. He says that lots of those issues have been remediated and that we should see the ever-increasing quality. Kai shares a video of the CARE Inspection process which literally gives every new Corvette off the line the “white glove” treatment `

43 cars rolled off the line yesterday. So the speed is coming up. Not near the 90/shift yet but with each passing day..... encouraging. Just don't stop the line again. haha.

I saw a post that said 125 cars built in first week. So that would be another 43 on Friday. This was a 4 day week to be fair. I am hoping that this coming week sees these daily numbers take a jump in speed. If 43 is the new line speed the. I can’t see the backlog getting built out. Need to see at least 300-400/shift.

Need to see at least 300-400/shift.

8hr shift x 5 days @11.6hr
±90 day
±450 week

I meant per week not shift. My bad.

Full speed according to Kai is 90 cars per day per shift. 11.6 per hour is more than that, but I assume coffee breaks etc.
