What happens if this happens to automobiles?
- Pre-orders for the 2023 Corvette are told delivery is 3-5 years out.imbecile
- That’s a rare model and an outlier. Also they are setting expectations based on today’s availability of chipsnb
- There are rumors of lots full of basic Family SUV crossovers just waiting for a few microchips to be installed. But maybe demand is too high.nb
- No one can accurately predict exactly how quickly the chips will become availablenb
- Cars are so back ordered it's going to take ages to catch up. I was told 6months to a year, if I want electric more like 2 years.formed
- That's demand, not just supply chain. I want a very unique car and I am still on the bottom of the list (can't even 'order' it until I move to the next list)formed
- not an outlier. an example of what is happening. parts shortages are changing configurations and delivery dates. the desire for a new car has not gone down.imbecile
- and being directly in the industry, they are not rumors. some manufacturers can't get windshields made for pre-ordered cars.imbecile
- comparing vehicles, which are a part of industry and american culture and much more important, to plastic christmas tchotchkes is willfully stupid.imbecile
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯imbecile
- K but you guys know that the salesman at the car dealership couldn’t possibly know how quickly chips manufacturers will ramp up production rightnb
- The car companies are guessingnb
