Many of us have seen the video on the new protocols FCA put in place to protect workers in the Coronavirus pandemic. We know that most workers returned on May 18. It was reported that Jeep expected production would be about half the rate prior to shutdown.
I have not seen anything on how things are going. I'm sure many of us would like to know how production is proceeding. Especially those of us who still have Gladiators on order.

We're at maybe 70% potential after the first full week of three shifts at my plant. I can't imagine the Toledo Jeep plant being any better. There's more downtime at breaks and between shifts, like an hour of lost production just to facilitate distancing.
70% of full production before Covid. Can't provide actual numbers but just checked and the Jeep plant is at a similiar production situation, ie. roughly 70% with maybe +/- 10% variance daily.
Parts suppliers are also going through a ramp up as well, which could affect what each plant is capable of producing. Alot of moving parts getting a vehicle built, manpower, parts, weather & shipping, etc.
