At the moment I think they are running 2 shifts a day 5 days a week, which gives them a capacity of 30,000 a year.
I think you are 100% correct that the demand for the Station Wagon model will start to taper off by 2025/26.
This is when the demand for the dual cab ute will kick in and we will see initial figures ramp up, taking up capacity in their production line.
As they will have the long wheel base chassis in full swing with the ute I am sure you will see a long wheelbase Utility and Station Wagon.
This will see new buyers and also existing owners trading up.
These can all be built on the production line at the same time.
2027/28 they plan to introduce a short wheelbase smaller electric version.
Again this will introduce new buyers and also existing owners who want a second vehicle for around town or for their partners.
2029/2030 they plan a hydrogen version which will again introduce new buyers, trade ups and multiple vehicle owners.
Remember that this is a very large, fully robotised factory, so it is relatively easy to reconfigure to different models
They are also still assembling MB Smart cars there until end of next year (???)
By 2030 a new/update version of the original SW will come out and no doubt we will see higher spec luxury models introduced.
