My build date was April 15th. Still not built. Flat rock is shut down until 6/21. But will most likely be extended again.

Where did you see that date?

Snoop is the source. If he says they will be open on June 14th, they will get a phone call directly from him.

Yes, but that date can change if the chip shortage is worse than they have predicted. You have to remember that the manufactures that rely on these chips, are not driving the ship, the chip manufacturers are and they can only guess as to when they will get back up and running.

Hopefully there won't be anymore delay announcements.

News has been quiet this past week on car production restarting- does anyone have any updates?

I was tempted to order one but glad I pulled the trigger on an already built one. The chip shortage situation does not sound good.

Unfortunately, AMD doesn't want anything to do with the mass automotive market. Intel either. Thus we are stuck waiting. I'm hoping to hear soon on status.

Yes the gaming portion. Not the cars main engine ECU. My Dad was a founder of AMD so I've discussed the situation with him quite a bit lately and to what and how the cause started.

Any inputs on how this has started and what will bring it to an end. I was thinking of putting an order in for a gt but now I am not sure if I should since most people here have no clue as to when their cars will be produced and delivered.
