Chip Shortage Slows Car Production | Mercedes News

From the front page of the FT today: Yet another example of how JIT supply chains are vulnerable to rapid changes in demand. I wonder if the penny will actually drop this time? One would have hoped that the Fukushima disaster and the disruption to deep global supply chains that caused would...

Actually March 2022 is only 7 months, which isn't that unusual for a factory order. Our Vito took 5 months long before the chip shortage.

Its not just MB. Volvo just quoted me March/April 2022 for an XC40 P8 electric.

We can thank all this to the Bitcoin fanatics. Also, that’s why still not possible to buy a PS5 from an official retailer since last Christmas… Well done miners.

My EQC is being quoted for delivery early February 2022

I ordered my EQC in April and just been confirmed it has been allocated a build slot for delivery at the end of October so aroun 6/7 months seems right at the moment if they are quoting Feb/Mar 22

Premium Plus

Thread High-jack:

Hi, no just for the EQA. I know we have a huge amount of outstanding GLA orders. Currently estimate is Q2 next year for new orders now
