Auto manufacturers don’t actually make ANY thingI think it's all bullsh!t. Can anyone explain how Ford and GM can convert from manufacturing automobiles to producing respirators / ventilators in less than one month? Then why can't they produce micro chips or processing chips in the same time frame? You will get the correct answer to your question when the economy recovers and inflation sets in. Right now these companies are busy printing new invoices for the $10,000 price increase before the cars are slowly moved to the dealerships.
They just assemble parts that are made by suppliers .
A lot of which are now manufactured in China.
Ford motor nor any other car company couldn’t build a computer chip if their lives depended on it.
They can barely have their employees slap parts together on the assembly line
