I was thinking of posting this after reading it this afternoon, glad to see somebody did.

FCA bought the old Gibraltar trade center property and has been using it as an overflow storage lot.

Is parking tight around Sterling Heights? I can't imagine that's cost effective vs shipping out immediately. I'll dig around, but I haven't heard of Ford or GM having to do this.

FCA had to hold onto a bunch of 2017 and 2018 Ram EcoDiesels while waiting for EPA recertification, as well it provided another lot to store 2019 Rams as production ramped up. Keep in mind 2019 Ram 1500 production started in January and they didn't start shipping until late Feb, early March so I'm sure they had a ton of stock built up and needed to put them somewhere. Those photos are from April, another problem they're running into is a shortage of railcars to ship trucks out from my understanding.

That's right. Ecodiesel and early 2019 production slipped my mind.
