I think this is the same news article that was posted about a month ago. The date does say Sept 22nd, but I'm assuming maybe the article is just being reaffirmed or edited.
it's for October, last month Yorii assembly plant (寄居完成車工場) plant utilization was reduced by 40%, for October, the utilization rate also planned to reduce by 30%. it's quite normal Toyota experience the same problem. The Estimated time of shipment(vehicle departed from factory) is the same for Type R&ehev, "more than half year". No idea what's the production volume for NA region tho
Type R volume is so low I dont know that this would even have an impact. In other words a model that is 1k per month might not be impacted like one that is 30-40k per month…it's for October, last month Yorii assembly plant (寄居完成車工場) plant utilization is reduced by 40%, for October, the utilization rate also planned to reduce by 30%. it's quite normal Toyota experience the same problem.

To be fair, those tables are most likely only referring to Japan, and obviously people are already taking delivery of their cars in Japan, so we know that doesn’t even apply to everyone.
it’s total overall output.
Id doubt they would cut production on something that low volume. Its the heavy hitters (big production) that will suffer.
What I'm saying is their "production plans" which vary month to month were already cut a month ago, for this month. This is simply just a continuation of last months cut. Not cut by 40% then cut by another 40%. As OP suggests they are possibly cutting production "even more" which thats not what this article is saying as it mentions production Plans for October.
