Porsche to pause production, MB to follow?

Good morning all,

Ran across an interesting headline in robbreport. Wondering whether the pause will spread to other manufacturers (mb) leading us back to the no v8 situation we just emerged from...

Russian Ladas are now on production hold. Expect your dealer to return your deposit and cancel your order.

A gaggle of MB's
Wiring harnesses for all European auto manufacturers had "consolidated" to a area in Western Ukraine - reportedly employing about 80K on top of the automated handling.

The just-in-time-parts-flow was 3-days - example vehicle to be built Weds - parts delivered to factory Monday - that's how efficient the flow "was" and Ukraine production has been 0 for the past 11 days.

Ford has paused allocations until May. Every article just says parts supply issue. Nothing about chip shortage or war. Interesting to see if other brands do the same
