EXPECT FURTHER DELAYS - More auto semiconductor chip problems

"TOKYO—A fire at a factory of one of the world’s leading auto chip makers has added to the troubles of car makers that already have slashed production because of a semiconductor shortage.

The fire Friday left a swath of charred equipment in the factory owned by a subsidiary of Renesas Electronics Corp. RNECY 2.10% in Hitachinaka, northeast of Tokyo. The company said it would take at least a month to restart the damaged operations."

" Renesas’s chief executive, Hidetoshi Shibata, said Sunday the impact on global chip supplies would be significant. Mariko Semetko, a credit analyst at Moody’s Japan, said the fire was likely to damp the recovery of global auto production this year, while auto makers said they were still assessing the impact. "

Expect further delays!

can someone confirm if Ford is affected?

It kind of sucks - with these other delays - the 2.7 and Sasq materials will all be in ready supply by the time they get the chips. I skipped on those for earlier delivery, I would be bummed to know I could have Sasq'd without delays.

Haha I was JUST thinking this.
I just emailed my dealer to change my color again but got to thinking what's the point? At the rate I'll likely get a 22 and have to go through the ordering process over again anyway

Remember you can always edit your order

Can we just get some high school and college students to hack the systems and emulate them on a network of Raspberry Pis and have an open source, networked ECU in the Bronco????

Below the line headline: Shares of Toyota, Nissan and Honda fell Monday.

No word on any other manufacturer, but it may only be a matter of time.
