Actual "cutting" of the cables is not the preferred method...

excerpt from: https://www.firerescue1.com/firefigh...fighters-face/

The NHTSA recommends the following procedure when working with an undeployed system:
  • Turn off the engine, and carefully disconnect both battery cables. Disconnect the negative cable first. The U.S. Fire Administration advises rescue personnel to disconnect the cables whenever possible, since cutting them can cause an electrical arc and fire. In a severe crash, make certain the battery case has not been penetrated with metal body parts that could recomplete the electrical circuit. Battery disconnect can be verified by attempting to turn on the headlamps and tail lights.
  • Wait until the airbag system is deactivated. Check the Air Bag Deactivation Times chart to find out how long it takes for the backup system to completely deactivate. Some vehicles may take up to 30 minutes to deactivate, but most vehicles take 10 minutes or less.
  • If there is a fire at the scene, use normal fire-extinguishing procedures, and then follow the guidelines above. (Expect explosions with projectiles when system under fire load)

Have you worked in a factory?
But I think if it were true then it would only apply to factories where people never worked the weekends and looked forward to a known weekend off.
I've worked for automotive factories and automotive suppliers for 30 years. I've never worked anywhere where half or more of the people weren't working almost every weekend... so there wouldn't be the winding-up or winding-down period anyway.

I went to this location and entered my VIN. It continues to come back with the following message. For several days now.

FordEtis is currently unavailable. This may be due to planned maintenance or an error. Please try again in a few minutes. The IT team are working on restoring service as soon as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Thanks, Trey
