What if we... Wait for it... Made simpler cars without so much damn modern technology in them to begin with? Most of the modern conveniences cars have are completely unnecessary.
I remember thinking back in high school- the fact that no company makes a modern bare bones car for like $10K is proof that everything is a racket and all these companies work together to keep prices high. If one company had a simple to work on and cheap car for sale, they'd own the market. Every college kid would want one.
Can confirm this is the problem. Massive silicone chip shortage. Seems you can't just shut down the world for 18+ months and then expect everything to be fine. So either there just aren't any or someone is hoarding. I would expect companies to either go to older chips or just back to analogue to survive, if they don't I guess survival was never that important to them.
There are hundreds (if not closer to 1000 or slightly more) cars and trucks sitting in the lot of the former palace of auburn hills here in michigan. My cousin owns an auto shop and he is having some struggles with getting some parts.
That is my hope. You have mounds of red tape to cut. Just look at the cars they make now, the damn things SHUT OFF at a stoplight because of some EPA bullshit. I want a car with zero computer components. All mechanical.
Exactly. Few people need to know a lot of the things your car will tell you, if you have sense and a few rudimentary tools like a pressure guage or compass which you still need to have to check the car notices.

Federal mandates are the reason you have so many BS gadgets in modern cars.
Everything from higher gas mileage mandates to trying to protect the idiots from themselves with all sorts of new sensors and monitoring systems.
