You’d think after 2020, car manufacturers would’ve had enough supply chain trauma to last a lifetime. But here we are — 2025 — and Detroit’s having flashbacks.


Ford just shut down three plants. Jeep factories in Michigan are dark. Aluminum supplies are toast (literally, thanks to a three-alarm fire in New York), and semiconductors are once again at the center of an international tug-of-war. Add in a Trump tariff sequel and China’s rare-earth revenge tour, and you’ve got what experts are calling a once-in-a-lifetime confluence of chaos.


In this episode, we unpack:


🔩 Why the aluminum shortage is freezing SUV production.


🌎 How tariffs and trade wars are reshaping the entire car supply chain.


💾 The bizarre chip maker shutdown in the Netherlands that could halt global auto production.


💸 What this all means for car prices, jobs, and economic security heading into 2026.



This isn’t just a car story — it’s a story about global dependence, industrial resilience, and how a single bottleneck in China or a fire in New York can ripple through the world economy.


If you’ve ever wondered why your new SUV still isn’t ready, or why prices never drop, this one’s for you.


If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.


Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
