But they did it for a 2nd shift right (the training), which they did not have before. So that one I think is possible with time. I do agree the more challenging point is maintenance on the machinery, but am curious, does a factory really need a full shift of maintenance per day ? If a machine breaks or is due for a replacement part due to wear, perhaps, but doubt it's the entire line requiring servicing for 8 hours. Inquiring minds want to know.
I truly believe that the demand for this car will not die down at all, it has officially reached and likely surpassed most other (higher end) sports and exotic cars. Even with all of the C8's available on the used market, most people would prefer to just wait on their existing list and pay a bit more to order it the way they want. So SR demand I think will remain high, but the one out of control that will be hard to catch up on is every other model, just too little production with 3-5+ years of wait lists at each dealer. So I strongly believe it is in their best interest to find another building, tool up, train up, and move production of the non SR models there. With the future announcements of the ZR1 and Zora, it will just keep slowing down the production of SR & E-Ray and Z06 and they will never catch up.
Who knows, perhaps what someone said on here is true (with my analogy added). If you owned a fairly popular clothing store, restaurant, or club, you want that hype, you want that long line outside your place, to create buzz, an interest, draw attention. Sure they could build more and make more, and have money falling at their feet that they would not know what to do with (think screaming anxious men waving their credit cards / bank checks saying take my money please). I guess it is a fine balance for keeping the demand (and wait time) high, while producing just enough to get people a car within a 14-24 month timeframe.
