        It is not just ECU tuning being affected but now we have entire production lines shutting down. Why is Germany shutting down production of the Porsche Taycan EV (electric vehicle) in their Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen assembly plant?


        Why?

        Carmakers including Germany's Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), BMW and Porsche are struggling to obtain crucial wire harnesses as suppliers in western Ukraine have been shuttered by the Russian invasion, forcing them to curtail production.

        Production of the part, needed for organizing miles of vehicle cables, has affected suppliers like Leoni (LEOGn.DE), Fujikura (5803.T) and Nexans (NEXS.PA), and rippled through to major carmakers.
        The plant is expected to be shut down for roughly a week which means 200 Taycans per day or 1400 cars will not be built.

        Porsche will have their other Leipzig plant which was shut down last week running again but who knows what will happen next. The situation is clearly unpredictable.
