It's just getting bad and, I believe will get worse before better. Like most things that are completely out of our control, sit back, relax and.... this too shall pass. There's nothing that being anxious will help.

As someone working in the industry...no. We are not even close to over. Maybe close to being able to cope with the pain, but we're going to be living with this for a while.

At what point do we go back a step on things? I read about GM not including heated seats, because of a chip shortage. Seems to me you used to be able to use buttons with relays to heat your seats. Chip not required.
I guess I'm old or something, but - if I want my seat heated, I want my seat heated. I hate feeling like I'm asking the car for permission to do it. And if it breaks I don't just replace a relay, I replace a motherboard. Not sure where we are today is exactly considered progress on all fronts. |

That improvement will further exacerbate the issue when Covid variant Eta hits.

Almost over? lol yeah I guess so if you see it from a perspective of the industry adapting to it as a new "normal" where decontenting is expected and long delays are typical. I mean from that vantage point I guess...
In reality... This will be with us for another 5-10 years. As I'm sure the current situation is impacting new car designs which will be decontented from the drawing board and we'll need some time for that rubber band to snap back and the industry both designs and builds properly again. You'll see lower priced cars and trims become a lot more bare bones than they have been in the interim. I wouldn't be shocked if we see many cars, for instance, get stuff like roll up windows and etc in their refreshes. |

Hello in Waxhaw NC from Greer SC.. Here's Big Banker Steve Mnuchin (ex 77th Treasury Secretary) and wife.. Did you know he used to be a Movie Producer? Oh that certainly qualifies him to be a Banker these days.. It's amazing what money can buy, but if you're a banker it's just ones and zeros on a computer screen backed by nothing. Hence the term "fiat" money..

We're going to see the availability of chips continue to be volatile. As a result, we'll see automakers continuing to prioritize chips to vehicles that they consider to be higher margin and for them to reduce the chip needs of cars that are lower margin. What that looks like will vary across manufacturers, segments, and models. Even now the loss of touchscreens on BMWs and the loss of HD radio are pretty visible and sad losses, but there may be more under the hood that makers don't need to disclose to us directly... |
