    COVID had a huge effect on the auto industry, and now manufacturers are removing features like auto stop/start because they don't have the computer chips to operate car systems. Dealerships are also running low on inventory, with cars spending record low times on the lots.

      @@LoneStarStinger totally natural don’t stress it. People are going to notice, but most people that voice their opinion say positive things. Plus what matters is the CLARITY of vision achieved when you employ the right pair of glasses. They will quickly become essential and worth the time and effort to learn how to maintain them for optimal performance+life. Biggest downside is feeling borderline disabled when they have just broken or been lost or just not on your face. Which brings me to the second rule of glassesing is always keep a spare set!

    This was great! One thing that wasn't covered that answers the question of "Well, why can't Ford just pay the manufacturers to make more chips for them?" has an interesting reason behind it.
    Basically - chip manufacturers allocate blocks of time/materials to companies months and often years in advance to make their specific chip. There is often enough time and material left over for a chip buyer to request more chips if their demand is higher than expected, but with the shortages and delays all of these blocks are booked solid and no one will give up their place in line. What's more - the tools needed to make these chips are enormously complicated and expensive, which means it can take YEARS to expand their production ability, so "just making more" is basically impossible.

      All of the existing machines are currently working overtime, but it's just not enough to keep up with all the different industries asking for more chips.

      @@jlco Fabs normally run between 80 to 90% of their max capacity, to make way for cleaning and maintenance or any urgent industry orders, currently they are running at 100%. These fabs usually take 3 to 5 years to build including the massive buildings, clean said buildings, certify them, receive the necessary machinery, find the workforce, supporting infrastructure (such pipes roads, water filtration systems, and etc.) calibrate, and setup said machinery. On current time tables we are looking at late 2022 at the earliest before the silicon shortage is resolved by new fabs, and this is assuming that there are no environmental or political disputes that affect the existing supply, as the largest company for such production is TSMC a Taiwanese company with 55% of the market share, and most of it's fabs on Taiwan which has A) been having a major water shortage and B) been embroiled in longstanding political disputes (since 1927) With the Peoples Republic of China and Taiwan is controlled by the democratic Republic Of China, both currently claim to be the legitimate government of China and the PRC which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party has declared that they will "Retake Taiwan by 2049" (though they have never had control of Formosa the Island on which Taiwan resides) by military force if necessary. One of the primary reasons that this has not happened yet is Taiwan has the verbal military backing of the US as the US has brought their Pacific assets to bear everytime the PRC has attempted to take Taiwan nothing yet has happened since the shelling in the 50's and the regular breaches of Taiwanese airspace by PLAAF, though actions may soon occur as the US is currently demonstrating weakness, and much of the PRC's workforce will start to retire in 2028. Sooooo honestly anything could happen.

Desktop computer chip lithography these days is 5-12nm. The chips these cars use are very power-inefficient and there isn't that much reason for chip manufacturers to make them because the yields are not as good with the 40+nm chips cars need with their worse yields and fewer features per square mm. Desktop chips were using 40nm processes 12+ years ago. It would speed up the production a smidge and there would be more wafer manufacturers if the car industry didn't demand older process nodes.

      Nolan only barely touched upon Toyota's modifications to their own JIT methodology. Several years ago Toyota realized that there are SOME parts that MUST be exempt from JIT because an interruption in their supply would mean delays in the span of weeks or months. Chips was one such item. So Toyota invested in a stockpile that will allow them to continue manufacturing cars (albeit at a lower rate). Other car makers did not make this change (because why waste money, right?) and thus learned this lesson the very hard way.

The CEO of Intel publicly offered to make every chip the auto industry needs, under the condition that they transition to a process node developed in the last decade. The auto makers, so far, are refusing. It would only take Intel a few months to cover the entire backlog of chips the industry needs. The problem is, Intel would actually lose money by ramping production on 90nm+ micro-chips for the auto industry. To be worthwhile, the chips need to be produced on 45nm or newer process technology as that's what Intel currently has available to them. They would have to invest billions retooling plants to manufacture 90nm+ chips again. The tech industry moved on from 90nm more than a decade ago.

Everyone had their prices well over sticker. Used cars were pretty similar in price but I figured those would nosedive even further in value after a year or two than a new. LUCKILY, I was able to get a 2021 Nissan Sentra SR (wanted the premium final package with the Bose and all that but it wasn't found anywhere and where it was found was prohibitively over priced and generally in a white color or without the black wheels that I really like). That electric blue Sentra SR with 19" black 5 spoke wheels was the first one that stuck out to me at the lot and it happened to be the one I could get AT sticker price.

      @@railerswim that would make more sense to me. Automotive-grade semiconductor parts (commonly refered to as Q100 or -Q1 suffix) go through additional steps to get qualified as such and as so are held to a higher QA standard than "normal" parts. Big semiconductor manufacturers make these parts specifically for the auto industry since there's big money to be made there. And since there's lots of competition at that level (at least 4-5 big manufacturers competing for auto business with countless smaller ones too) historic trust between companies goes a long way.
      All of that is to say I doubt big companies would lower their manufacturing standards to ship more parts. Unless they want to reap a serious windfall if/when they got caught (not saying it's impossible, just I don't think it's likely)
      My thought is maybe some auto manufacturers are buying "grey market" parts. Basically they're the exact same parts and are even Q100 certified, but the chain of custody is shady and their integrity can't be garenteed by the original manufacturer (read as: not legally liable).
      It's an interesting situation for sure. And it'll be even more interesting to see when/if there's any fallout from this with lawsuits or recalls or stuff like that.

    Time to re-evaluate the need for car dealerships in general. They are a non-essential part of purchasing a vehicle in todays economy and level of technology. At this point in time one should only need service centers for quality control for vehicle delivery/maintenance. The purchase as well as the actual ordering of a vehicle should be done online.

      And how would you test drive? How would you determine if you like layout? Fit and finish? The touch and feel? Kick the tires and close the door? I don’t think so.
      Online is only if you’re buying a cheaply made Tesla.
