Nissan production seems to be trending well amidst the chip crisis. Hopefully Nissan stockpiled their chips (like Toyota did) after the 2011 nuclear fallout. The Nissan COO, in a August 2021 interview, doesn't seem to be that much concern with the shortage for their fleet.

Look the trends (Left Nissan; Right Toyota), 2of3 nissan models do better in 2021, while all 3 models for Toyota trend below their previous years. Take it as a grain of salt bc Nissan is a boutique company compare to the giant.
