New 2025 Ford Explorer Assembly in Chicago Plant

Some current 2025 footage and looks like the PIU has an old dash and front end still.

Couple things
I know why my grill is fucked up, with a mashed guide pin
Assembly line folks sure eat good, I would be thin as a rail doing that 8 hrs a day
And lastly.. we are lucky stuff actually works , watching them bang and toss stuff in

Wonder what in the world is going on the plant... have a 2025 that has been sitting in limbo now since 6/24. Seems like they are shipping out newer builds, read something about a software update that had invoked a QC hold but why are they not shipping to dealership to have them do the updates? As at the moment I have seen later production dates ship out basically right away. Frustrating to say the least. Wondering if this unit got lost at the plant

software will have to be updated, because dealers dont get paid to update software unless ford issues it as a tsb or the like
which is BS
my 23 sat on the lot for almost a year
it had 6 updates in the que as needed, but dealers dont get paid to deliver fully updated
IMO if its sold as NEW it should have all the updates when the vehicle is delivered to the buyer...simple
ford should pay that PERIOD
