EXPECT FURTHER DELAYS - More auto semiconductor chip problems

[Toccoa]

..... This is relation to the printed circuit board shortage the world is currently experiencing. We have yet to discover how much this shortage is going to be further exasperated by the blockage of the Suez Canal, a major Shipping route between Asia and the Americas.

Chips from East Asia travel west past India and up through the Suez canal to then go through the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic instead of just heading east across the Pacific? That doesn’t make sense.

Now that it's been confirmed that my Bronco won't come any sooner than January (black mod top), it may be time I log off this site. Coming here on a daily and seeing delays isn't doing me any favors lol

Cause of next delays...mysterious yellow dust at low altitude causing cargo jets to ground until May.

Don’t shoot the messenger:

“Ford, Toyota, Fiat, Nissan, VW, and other major car brands announced that they needed to reduce production expectations and acknowledged that they anticipate falling short of 2021 production targets.”

Doesn't matter anyway. The ship is no longer blocking the canal

What? No.
They go from East Asia then east through the Suez Canal to get to Gulf and East coast ports.

Whoops wrong canal. I’ll show myself out.

I think if there was a chip shortage impacting vehicle manufacturing we would have heard about it by now.

Yes it is. They moved it a bit but not freed yet.

Panama, maybe?

I’ve been debating the same thing....
For now I think the forum has run its course for me...

It's freed. The news just updated it when I posted

Context is important here. The article is using the past tense, not announcing a new delay for autos.

In fact this article is referencing another article that is over a month old. Also there is no mention of the Suez Canal.

Wow, talk about drama...it doesn't mention Bronco anywhere...so what is confirmed? Ford released their allocations 3 days ago with all of this baked in...

 

[Marauder]

Who had Suez Canal on their Excuses Bingo Card?

 

[RG7]

We still posting drama-inciting threads that have been discussed to death already with no new information with “CONFIRMED” in the title?
