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?

  • If you are lucky ! Some people are predicting that the chip shortage will not be resolved until 2023 !!
  • There are issues with material sourcing for lithium batteries.

    Asia, except Australia, is slowing down supplying us. Mining for the materials have resumed domestically and a big Australian company even relocated stateside..

    There is also a mad scramble for research into alternative materials or tech to pack more punch in smaller space and to have less weight.
  • News last night said GM is shutting down two more factories due to lack of supplies/parts.
  • Could be longer waits for electric vehicles if the USA doesn't start making more battery factories. We're way behind.
