    The chip shortage and how it affects cars. Deeper explanation.

    Log in to Facebook

    The “chip shortage” explained — How it drastically slowed down LC300 production

    It’s no doubt that over time we’ve been using more electronics. We almost treat those electronics as an essential rather than a luxury we can choose to live without. This means that more chips will be required to produce more electronics. A modern car already requires more than 3,000 chips to make all the creature comforts inside work, as compared in the past decade where a car only needed a hundred chips to operate.

    However this isn’t the only reason why we’re lacking in chips, there is also the fact that the silicone used in producing those chips are the same silicone material used in making Covid-19 vials. And with no doubt, healthcare will and should get a priority over new tech.

    But besides Covid-19 and innovation, this doesn’t mean the chip makers are lagging behind.

    Since the US-China trade war, the United States have been running short on chips because China plays a big role on supplying chips globally. But that isn’t the main reason why the rest of the world is now on the shortage of chips as well.

    It actually has something to do with Taiwan. The world literally relies on one chip maker to keep the supply going. This company is called “Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.” or TSM. They have been the most depended chip maker for the past decade with producing 92% of the chips used in the world today. TSM’s factory is in huge demand for water, but since the June of 2021, there had been a drought in Taiwan, causing TSM to not meet the global demands for the chips.

    This means Toyota will be cutting 40% of their manufacturing in Japan and it could take years for the next customers to get their car.

    So when will there be Land Cruiser inventories in the Philippines? If you’re thinking by the end of the year or somewhere 2022, then you may be disappointed by hearing that it may take up to 3 to 4 years for our local market to keep up with inventories. Because besides production shortage, the Philippines doesn’t get a big allocation from Toyota despite the high demand of Land Cruisers in Philippines.

    So in conclusion, the reason why the LC300 won’t be purchasable at SRP price for the next few months (or years) is because the climate decided to take away the water from the world’s most depended factory, and there’s a extended distribution channel happening in the Philippines because of limited supply from the primary and secondary source.

    Nakakatuwa.

    The suspension of the LC 300 has electronically selectable damping.

    So i tried comfort, normal and sport.

    How i tested: went over the same series of speed bumps and corners in my village.

    Findings:

    COMFORT - 3 rebounds after each speed bump in decreasing intensity

    Normal - 1 to 2 rebounds after each speed bump

    Sport - 0 to 1 rebounds after each speed bump.

    At least its noticeable, measurable and not a placebo!


    In edsa i keep it in comfort.

    But if i wanna drive hard i move it over to sport. I dont use normal.

    How's the 2nd row and 3rd row seats? Were they considerably roomier or just the same as the 200?

    2nd row Same as the LC200. 3rd row more space than LC200 BUT it sacrifices cargo room. Have to fold the 3rd row down for cargo room.

    Saw a white 300 sa CG clubhouse.

    Naka 24s ganda, and easy fit daw sabi ng owner. No suspension mods needed whatsoever.

    Bolt pattern/PCD of the LC300 is 6x139.7, now the same as the more common SUVs/PPVs. Wheel hub is smaller too. <100 mm. Lots more wheel choices for sure.

    Official: All-new Lexus LX to debut on October 13 -AUTOINDUSTRIYA

    LC300's luxo brother is coming...

    Maybe has a V8 under the hood. Or a souped up version of the 300's V6 twin turbo engines.

    Assuming the badge represents the displacement of the engine, the LX could have a 6.0-liter engine. Still, that's highly unlikely considering the Land Cruiser dropped the V8 in favor of smaller displacement engines. That said, the new SUV could use the same engines available in the Land Cruiser – a twin-turbodiesel 3.3-liter V6 or a 3.5-liter twin-turbo gasoline V6.
