What is the Chip Shortage?
There may not be many BMW vehicles in stock around Loudoun County right now. Why is that? The majority of new BMW models — not to mention other new cars — are built with thousands of semiconductor chips.
These chips aren’t like the kind you reach for to go alongside your sandwich and soda; they relay electrical messages throughout your vehicle so you can start your engine, roll down your windows, and more. 99% of such chips are manufactured at a handful of factories in Taiwan.
Unfortunately, there's been a huge drought in Taiwan. Because it takes massive amounts of water to manufacture semiconductor chips, and because demand for personal electronics which heavily utilize these chips has also skyrocketed during and after COVID, o demand is high, supply is low, and production of BMW vehicles and other luxury cars has slowed dramatically.
