Curious as to your views on whether the new tariffs would affect supply chains for Teensy? Especially the bootloader and processor chips. Also, would we be expecting price increases for the chips? Covid was tough for us because the MK20DX chips were out of stock for so long.
Tariffs! Impact on Teensy?

Sparkfun is now manufacturing Teensy. You'll need to ask them regarding impact on manufactured Teensy boards.
PJRC still has a large quantity of MKL02 bootloader chips in stock, probably enough to last through the rest of 2025 (but of course anything can happen....) It'll probably be quite some time until we have to buy more and learn how they're affected by the new tariffs.

I've asked the Sparkfun support and the response I got was "Teensy pricing is increasing due to the market changes".
I've also asked if the USA was the sole manufacturing location (I've got the reverse issue, tariff on product manufactured in the USA), and they said "we cannot confirm that Teensy's are only being made in the USA as we are unsure of any other productions in our locations".
All in all not the most helpful answers, but I understand that this is a time of uncertainty!
