CHIP SHORTAGE UPDATE, NEW CAR PRICING!: The Homework Man, Kevin Hunter, with Elizabeth

People like my wife who lives in pain and on pain meds. Says that
Heated seats or a heating pad helps relieving partially the pain while she’s ridding/driving in a auto. So Kevin, while I respect your knowledge about the Ottoman of the street I think you should read my post and understand where my wife is coming from. Thank you still for all your info.

I gotta laugh at this scam going on for 3 years now. This was all orchestrated along with Covid to run inflation high cause this economy is a sham. The debt based model is failing quickly worldwide. Buckle up……….gonna get a lot worse.

Thanks for the update…
I'd read that the shortage of chips had been affecting the automotive industry, but had hoped that they would be caught up by now. They certainly didn't predict the market…
Your podcasts are so insightful, and are entertaining as well.
Thanks!

Maybe they should just engineer chips out of these vehicles. We don't need all these bells and whistles anyway

The "chip shortage" is one way to change the car selling/buying business. More profit when selling a car a 5k+ over the MSRP to the not so bright. Only dealers are benefiting. Dealears that don't have any cars to sell will find ways to take your money in creative ways. Get ready for your older cars to have serious problems when taking in for a service.

I message you for the free caps but never even got a response. I would have loved at least a go away we do not have any. Won't stop me from following you guys as I am a ride-or-die from day one. But I heard you say you would respond if contacted. Well, can't win them all.

Happy you are both in good health.

Excess used cars on the market will drive down used car and new car prices.

Do you think that anyone in the American auto industry could build a car without the chip like the good old days?

Who really gives a damn whether or not cars are being made. They are ridiculously expensive anyway, and so long as the wheels go around on my old jalopy, I can wait another couple of years. The issue is more about greedy profits than anything else.

Is all on purpose. Everyone knows Americans are fools who would pay way above MSRP because they buy "wants" rather than "needs", so maybe the economy is not that bad. I mean, those of us who are either smart buyers and have average salary knows best not to buy rigth if not necessarily. But now people are doing 84 month loans, are upside down KS just a mess. Manufacturers now don't have to build that many vehicles while still making the same profits or more. I can see Toyota only making100 Corollas and selling them for a million dollars and they will sell. Ok, a bit extrem, but ya'll know the point.
By the way, Manufacturers can build vehicles with less chips, heated seats and steering whee is not a Government mandate, so does adaptive cruise control, lane keep assit, power seats, big screens, memory seats.
Only ABS, traction control, tire pressure monitoring and front airbags and back up camera.

TY but way too many commercial 40% ,,,,,,WOW 1st class incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work

The theory that I heard is that automobile computer chips are the lowest profit margin chips out of all the chips a chip manufacturer could possibly make.
It sounds reasonable to me that this fact would put automobile computer chips at the bottom of the priority list.

And Tesla is taking advantage of it as California the largest car market is leading the way.

I like your videos… but this xcaps crap man…come on…

I recently went to a local car dealer because I received a message that they would buy my Ford pickup outright. When I went there as they were checking out my vehicle the sunroof mysteriously jammed. They told me that they would gladly buy my truck for what I wanted, but that they repair on the sunroof would cost them $ 2500 to repair, so they offered me $ 3000 less than we had agreed that it was worth. I left and on the way home unjammed the sunroof which had worked every time I had used it prior to going to the dealer and it now works perfect again. Two weeks later the car salesman called me and asked if I still wanted to sell the truck. I responded that I did and the price was the same. I explained that the sunroof was " repaired." He said bring it on down and we will make a deal. After another hour of bullshit, his manager told him that they could not give me what I wanted, and I thought we had agreed upon because the market had " turned." Once again i left and on my way out looked at some of the new trucks they were selling. All had significant additional dealer markups. I guess the market had only "turned"on vehicles that they were buying not selling. They seemed to have an adequate supply of new Ford trucks that were priced from $70,000 to $ 100,000. With the recession that we are in I am amazed that there are still enough people who can afford these vehicles. While I am fortunate enough to be able to pay these prices, I would never be stupid enough to spend that much on an asset that will ultimately depreciate. No matter what, I will never do business with the scammers at this dealership again.

The Chinese are coming to put an end to this. Just watch. Vietnamese too. Don't rule out India also. When there are no bucks to be found, the hunt for the low buck resumes.

The "Chip Shortage" WAS once a problem …. But, Let's ALL be honest and THINK about the situation in late 2022 … But then the entire manufacturing industry found that they could RAISE PROFFITS by "holding back inventory of most ANY goods using "Chips", and ran with it, as they' experienced RECORD PROFITS in most areas …. GREE took over, and NOW it's a "If YOU WANT IT, YOU WILL PAY dearly" for IT world …. So "bend over folks", because THIS "GREED" attitude WON'T be going away anytime soon …… SADLY !!!!!!!

What are Non Tax Fees?

Auto makers claim supply and demand. Well, you keep your supply. I'LL CONTINUE TO DEMAND LOWER PRICES! Some can buy a starter home for what you charge.

The big problem is the people willing to pay whatever the dealers want

Vote red on Tuesday & things will turn around for the better!!!

I don't believe there is a chip shortage.

Why, a false shortage makes for huge Markups.
Notice a few European manufacturers have reported no shortages. Only the US & a few others that are reporting huge profits.
😅🤣

I have been holding out buying a car for 5 years & refuse to feed the greedy dealers.

Yeah, I see the shortage going out to 2025.
🤣😅🤣😅🤣

Look at a truck optioned out as it would be in the 1980's and use this as a design guide. Build us a vehicle with power steering, power windows, AC and drop the GPS, Touchscreen Smart Radio, heated/cooled seats, electronic compass and individual zoned temps zones. Skip all the electronics which require additional chips and drop the price to reflect the changes.

That's why I bought Hyundai and Kia… They don't seem to have a chip shortage?
