mine was scheduled to be loaded to a transport on 3-aug, wonder if that is going to get delayed now.

doubtful now that i look at the map of where tahara is and kumamoto is

Kyushu is a key base for Japan’s automotive and semiconductor industries, which account for roughly two-fifths of regional industrial output, the industry ministry says.

My allocation is expected to arrive in Portland on 8/10. According to Perplexity, this likely means it left the plant a couple of weeks ago, and is either already on the ship or waiting to leave. I've asked my local dealer if they can tell whether the earthquake will affect my allocation timing.

The Tahara plant isn't even on that map, its 500 miles away.

I mean if you read the article it’s clearly stated what is effdcted.

“About 90 percent of Lexus vehicles that come out of Toyota's Miyata assembly plant are exported to other countries, Toyota's website says, including the United States. The ESsedan, RX compact SUV, and UX and NX subcompact SUVs are all manufactured at the Miyata plant and shipped to the United States. Nissan's affected plants produce the Infiniti QX80 and the Nissan Armada, among other vehicles sold in global markets.“

the only thing i think might be affected is that the chip production for vehicles is 2/5th in that region.

and not just for toyota but i think also lexus and mazda and nissan
