Working in the industry, we have everything we need to make it happen. We need manufacturers to want to go back to US made chips.
While I agree old businesses aren't ready to just fire back up and start cranking out 90s technology, I absolutely agree we have the engineering skill and labor talent to make our own stuff. We absolutely need to do so ASAP.
Making 1 copycat part is probably not too hard, but making 10,000 of them in a year and making a profit.. that's hard on another level. Supply chains, tolerancing, labor, manufacturing equipment payoff, etc. Good people cost money, and they add up fast.
Admittedly, it is quite difficult. It takes some really knowledge engineers to design a chip from the ground up. The other difficulty is having the tooling and infrastructure. The lack of chips is also interesting. EV inventory has increased yoy and sales decreased. whereas trucks/suvs is inversely proportional. How are EVs sitting around lots but we can't find a chip for a truck? Also, look at chip factory outputs and static inventory. You may be surprised
