I predict a dip surplus. Who needs dip with no chips?

The real concern for me did the fire damage “The Drunken Duck”. A great bar in Hitachinaka near the Katsu station. Spent many of nights in that place during the 80’s while doing work with Hitachi. Lot of semiconductor facilities in that city.

There light at the end of the tunnel The Fire that involved Renesas said its customers, which are mostly automotive suppliers rather than manufacturers, will begin to see chip shipments fall in about a month.

I'm taking the optimist view point on this. Ford has guaranteed sales with our Bronco orders. So, the reduction in F-150's and other models could be to allow chip allocation for Bronco orders. Also, who is to say that they haven't already secured the chips for our builds. Until something official comes from Ford, we should all just calm down.
I agree entirely...we are 2 months from production which is ample time to turn things around. Additionally, here in Ontario Canada there is an abundance of new Ford vehicles on the lot as people are not buying them and opting to buy used vehicles during the pandemic. I just sold my 2011 Ford F150 to purchase the Bronco and received $3000 over asking due to the demand.

The higher your package, the greater the chance of delays over the computer chip shortage. That is because every safety feature relies on chips to function and the higher your package, the greater number of safety features on your vehicle.
