Don't get much more official than that!
There have been rolling shutdowns for pretty much every automotive manufacturing company.
There are also huge shipping and trucking issues right now so even the ones that are built may have long delays until delivered.
All these things are expected to last another year yet.
So whatever "used" to happen is no longer the norm.
Welcome to the world of the 2020s!
