What is the Chip Shortage? 

There may not be many MINI vehicles in stock around Loudoun County right now. In fact, there may be comparatively fewer new vehicles available on dealership lots across the globe, regardless of brand. Why? The majority of new vehicles are built with thousands of semiconductor chips. These chips relay electrical messages throughout your vehicle to do things like start your engine and roll down your windows. What’s more, 99% of these chips are manufactured at a handful of factories in Taiwan. 

Unfortunately, there's been a massive drought in Taiwan, and it takes huge amounts of water to manufacture semiconductor chips. Furthermore, demand for personal electronics which heavily utilize these chips has skyrocketed because of quarantine, so demand is high, supply is low, and production of automobiles has slowed dramatically.
