I work for a tier-1 auto parts supplier, that builds lighting systems (headlamps and tail lamps) For Ford Motor Co. For several months, until very recently, we were less than busy. Some lines dropping a shift, temporary layoffs, employees offered to leave early, offered Friday's off, and NO overtime. This was said to be due to supply chain issues, primarily lack of a key semiconductor. Recently, Ford announced that they were shifting their focus from the ICE (internal combustion engine) segment of their business, to the BEV (battery electric vehicle) segment. Within days of Ford's announcement, we're almost back to pre scamdemic production levels. One can only assume, that announcing the switch to electric vehicle production, and the demise of the gasoline/diesel engine. Thus pleasing the cabal, and the institutional stock holders, obviously caused computer chips fall out of the sky, like manna from heaven! Whoda, thunk it.

I thought Ford dropped all their vehicles except the Mustang and was focusing on Trucks a couple years back? Or are they trying to compete on the garbage electrical truck market now?
I know all the newer crap uses chips/modules for everything that are so great and wonderful the common response is "take it to the dealer", but since you said electric vehicles, I'm focusing on that!
