Ford is 'right-sizing' its production capacity for the F-150 Lightning, but will not layoff any workers

Ford is significantly rolling back its production ambitions for the F-150 Lightning in a bid to match supply with demand. The automaker will cut staff on the truck's production line, cutting its production targets by about two-thirds. The Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, was supposed to have up to three shifts run by around 2,100 workers.

The company added that dealers around the country have F-150 Lightnings in stock and that more are coming soon, because many new vehicles have been held for quality review since February 9.
