When things slowed down in 2020, car companies slashed their orders from their suppliers for the components that go into them. This includes of course, chips. Chips that are only worth a few dollars apiece to the cost of a typical car. But without that custom-made $1 microchip, a car company can't finish a car that might sell for $40,000 😦 probably best to have stocked up on these cheap Achilles heel chips. #electriccars #chips #tech
For whatever it is worth, here is this seasoned car automotive commentor talking about the real driver for the chip shortage is the fact that the chips car manufacturers are using are incredibly dated and no manufacturers are making big margins on them, therefore there’s a lack of supply and a shortage. #chips #cars @Milka
