Re: Shortage of new cars caused by storage of computer clips

Here's what I have garnered --

global auto production cut back due to covid.
Chip manufacturers cut back production.
Video game demand skyrocketed.
Auto industry started ramping up production after covid peak....but....6-9 month lag time in chip production means that we're in the middle of the crunch right now.

In your shoes I'd extend the lease a year.
