Toyota stops production in Japan after a cyberattack at a supplier.

A supplier to the automaker shut down its computer network in response to a hack.

Does a shutdown of all of Toyota's production in Japan mean that Solterra production has halted?

No article I've seen has indicated which product lines are affected.

google translate: "Toyota Motor Corp. announced on March 1 that it will shut down all plants in Japan. "

(I use google translate on https://news.google.com/search?q=toyota&hl=ja&gl=JP&ceid=JP:ja to search for subaru/solterra info that doesn't get posted to US sites.)

Article I just saw said "all production" so yeah, Solterra too.

Then logically, it would affect BZ4x and Solterra as well as the Lexus variant. Hopefully, it will be a short term thing while the hacking issue at the component supplier gets remediated.

It appears that production resumes tomorrow, 2 March.

Any chance that they could double Solterra production in light of recent gasoline prices. I'm sure they could find buyers.
