I stopped in to my Ford dealer the other day, and the sales guy said they have ZERO new trucks on the lot because of the PC board shortage. Same reason there are no PS5s, etc.
If there is a shortage of new cars, trucks, etc. wouldn't there be news of a corresponding wave of layoffs at the manufacturers? If new cars and trucks are not being made due to a "PC board shortage", then there is nothing for the workers in those factories to do, right?
So where is the news of the layoffs at the auto manufacturers factories? I have not seen anything about that, and it would have happened many weeks ago considering the slow speed at which new cars are shipped from the factory to the dealers. This reduction in work would have started long ago to be apparent now in dealerships.
I don't care what you understand. We require proof around here. There should be articles, and/or pictures of incomplete vehicles piling up waiting for the chips.
There have been pictures posted of a parking lot full of pickups outside a factory. If you want more proof there are multiple search engines you can access.

I understand that vehicles are built and sitting in fields awaiting the chips.

You asked why no lay offs. There have been posts regarding this subject in the past. I'm not here to do your research, sorry.

I believe the chip shortage is deliberate, as part of the DS economic reset they're attempting.
