Forget everything you think you know about the auto industry because NONE of it applies anymore and it will NEVER go back to pre Covid status. We are all living through the end of an automotive era as we know it.
Oddly enough, none of this surprises me, and would matches pretty much what I would have written down if asked, even though I know zero about auto manufacturing from an insider's prospective.

I'm surprised they haven't already made the call to retool to 2021. Seems like they could do that now. I suppose it could be a supply chain thing (we got parts we need to use).

The only thing I could think of that might save the Twins is the fact it is the only product off that particular factory, but that seems flimsy even to me.
