Cant find a GPU? Cars are next [Prices about to skyrocket]

Hold on to that used car boyos:
MEXICO CITY, March 5 (Reuters) - Mexican automotive production and exports tumbled in February, data from the national statistics agency (INEGI) showed on Friday, hit by temporary closures of factories due to bad weather and a global semiconductor chip shortage.

Auto output plunged 28.85% from February 2020 to 238,868 units, the figures showed, while auto exports declined 21.80% from the same month a year earlier to 213,987 units.

The cold snap that last month overwhelmed Texas' power grid and disrupted natural gas supplies to Mexico also led to closures of some Mexican auto factories as northern regions of the country suffered power outages.

Plants in Mexico, as well as other parts of North America, in February announced production cuts amid difficulties obtaining semiconductor chips.

Between govts phasing out gas engines in favor of electrics, and the loss of old cars from motors going, rust etc, I expect a car 20 yrs in the future will become a luxury item

Isnโ€™t globalism great.

Build entire industries that collapse if supply chains are delayed by even a few days.

Exactly, there is no problem diversifying your production but when it all relys on one place (China) and then a Chinese controlled government takes power (Biden) pretty sure this was all pre-planned from covid to get them in and now the supply chains drying up to FUK the middle class some more.
