I'm more concerned about the railroad blockade, but so far that is limited to others areas in Mexico.

The Sonora railroad blockade may impact parts imports from LA Harbor as well as exports to CA and AZ as it is impacting the Mexicali-California and the Nogales-Arizona border crossings . However, delivery of customer cars is months away.

Jump to the end of the story. Mach-E unaffected, as batteries coming from Poland. But yeah, could affect other models.
Plus the Mach-e battery supplier is LG Chem. A ruling here to punish SKI for it's transgressions would affect SKI supply, not LG Chem.

Oh dear. This doesn't bode well for US deliveries. Perhaps they should shift production to UK/EUR cars instead unless sea ports are blocked too??
