KIA Manufacturing Georgia Downsizing

[JP#]

Talked to a dealership General Manager today in my area and he stated that the Georgia facility is downsizing production and admin staff due to virus. Seems they are letting admin staff work from home but production staff have been reduced to essential employees. He also stated that the KFOS ordering process has been affected by the shift of the admin staff working from home. Obviously, the Telluride Lookup numbers for the last 3 days are reflecting the change. He also stated that some dealerships in the southeast district are shutting down to the end of month and delivery to Florida is a major problem with trucks loaded with vehicles are not able to deliver. Can any dealers on this site confirm this action?

Just when my order gets an allocation...so much for the typical 30-60 days to delivery. While I appreciate the need for people's safety - it is a huge bummer. More time to save cash I suppose. Thankfully the wife's van is still running ok.

Looks like Honda is shutting down US plants. I'd imagine they all will soon.
