Hopefully it corrects itself through domestic production.
Thanks Congress for rampant spending spree and The Fed for too much stimulus. It jammed the economy and is hurting Americans.
Space aliens: Did you see the latest Ford lot images? That’s it. Call off the invasion. We can’t compete with the Ford trucks.
Rework buries a producer. It’s the worst form of waste.
Old article.
Ford supports members of the swamp and jumps at the chance to build EV’s just to please the swamp rats.
Should we cry for them?
No. Buy something else.
40,000 trucks at an average of $55,000 each is $2,200,000,000. That’s a lot of cheddar.
Didn’t we once know how to make cars without chips? Instant collector items.
These trucks are going to have to be sold cheap.
Too bad they need “Chips” to build a truck. Now they can’t get the chips. Many of these newer cars are totally over engineered with all this electronic bling.
We've seen multiple car companies, including international giants like Honda and Toyota, struggle to deliver vehicles simply because they can't source the components they need. The same is true with Ford, which announced this week that up to 45,000 vehicles will be held in its inventory this quarter until they receive essential parts—mainly chips.
Someone tried to steal my Kia, back in July, and it's been sitting at the dealership since, waiting on parts.
EV them. Oh, still need chips. Darn!
Well they could dust off old designs and lose the chips.
Adjust the price accordingly.
I’d buy a new old vehicle that didn’t have the bells and whistles.
I’m sick of boutique trucks. 75% of F150 buyers have a monthly payment over $1000.

Microchip manufacturing requires Industrial NEON gas. Three countries produce the primary supply……China, Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine produced most of the world’s industrial NEON in facilities in Mariupol and Odessa. Both cities targeted in the Russian invasion and both vitally important to the world’s semiconductor industry.
Industrial chip grade NEON is difficult to refine in quantity and it is impractical to build refineries just anywhere since they rely heavily in byproducts from steel production to refine NEON. If you started a refinery here in the US it would take at least a year to build and get online and the final product would likely be so expensive that it would not be feasible to sell. Industry is looking at alternatives but there are very few options.
