Wow, 6 months wait for a Chevy-Tahoe
A little bird told me this. Is this because of chip shortage or signs of booming economy reported in business news today?

Thank you @GDH-3950BH for that special mention. I'm deeply honored. And to think, I beginning to feel hurt that you've forgotten me.;)
My next viewpoint is not to you specifically.
But permit me without offense the observations of the rigidity of some of the mindset here (as my physics college teacher dad once said to me, you are not too bright as your other siblings, who then became engineers, lawyer and nurse manager while I ended up being a failed bean-counter of several multinational companies:o.)
@Groover pointed this out somehow as an example of how we viewed the issues -- and certainly needs no help from me.
Yes, it started out of finding an explanation of the long wait to get a GM Tahoe (I have a friend who is GM fanatic and GM is in my watchlist of stocks to buy).
As a business news hound, one analysts said that it's the pent up demand from greater recession and now a glimpse of a booming economy (oh yeah, just raised political hackles again here). Others said GM is caught flatfooted again and other chimed in that it's supply chain issues for parts from pandemic-caused manufacturing shut-downs. And it now emerges as specific or on a more critical, chips.
Then it segued to EVs, specifically, Tesla who have that not much problems with it's chips supply and even thanked them publicly -- as much as the ICE manufacturers and where @Groover put in his insightful analysis. Tesla either have enough foresight and to sign a long term steady supply contracts. Or the chipmakers preferred to hitch their wagons and partner with the known innovators and disrupters -- those who will own the future of the industry than it's dinosaurs.
As to political sideways, yes, what we enjoy doing, are unduly influenced by politics. The government is the biggest holder of public lands and they can giveth and taketh it away from us. Thus we have vested interest to let our voices heard -- regardless on whose sitting out there in the Oval Office.
And please, stop playing the snowflakes and a victim. That's so yesterday. See yourself as a winner and you'll be the winner.
