Default But Where Will They Find the Sunglasses Holders?

Is it sunglasses holders or sunglass holders?

Either way, good news, Nitra is sparking up a 3rd shift to build more Defenders.

No word on what this means for parts availability. Probably going to get worse.

Brilliant of 'em to go to 3 shifts with demand so high. I wonder why automakers didn't think of that a hundred years ago.

Oh, wait...

They can't assemble vehicles without all the parts, and they haven't had enough parts to do two shifts up to now.
Even now some vehicles are coming without the digital dash, without two keys, USB ports, soft close etc.

l am guessing they'd have been on three shifts years ago if they'd had parts to assemble the vehicles.

The skilled labor & management scaling component has been an issue almost moreso than parts I think.

​​​​​​I read a much more detailed version of this a while back but this is all I can find now.
