Does Oxford plant still operate 24/7?

The tracking thread says they do, and some people have said they do work 24/7. But does anyone know if thats still true?

I saw headlines on Google from a couple years ago where they let go of ~850 workers and were dropping down to a 5day work week and closing on weekends.

Just kinda curious cause its Friday, and my car is in the paint shop now, and wondering if they'll be putting it together this weekend or next week.

Based on your production date and estimated completion compared to mine... I would stipulate no. But that's just a stipulation and the JCW vs the S could be different. I don't know.

It is my understanding that they only produce the JCW models once a month, that is why it takes longer to get them.

Yeah, I'm guessing not either cause after paint shop, it only needs assembly. But my est completion date is Mon, instead of tomorrow.

Yeah, my car was in the Scheduled for Production status forever.

Awesome color choice you picked on your car. I approve!
