Waitlist for Supra is 1 year rn
Waitlist for RAV4 Prime is 3 years

I wonder if it's affecting Toyota more heavily, because they depend on very efficient operational processes. They were the first to implement and perfect JIT (just in time) and Kaizen to that effect. That usually means they only had enough raw materials to cover what they need at that point in time and expected a backorder at their regular interval.

If you ask the right dealer the times are way less. OpenRoad told me 2-3 years before I could even think about getting a GR86. Asked around and I now have deposit for the 2nd allocation for another dealer with orders submitted to Toyota already.
OpenRoad is the biggest store so makes sense they get the most cars but their customer base and demand must be even bigger.
