Material shortages - not chips
LOL imagine if GM did this. Tesla gets credit for being creative.

They did back in the 1920s thru the 1930s time period when they built cars and trucks with wood frames to attach the sheet metal body parts to. Elon Musk is a hero to the Green New Deal folks out there.

nah, GM just substitutes cheaper components that dont meet the required specifications and ships that instead.
Then tries to cover up any accidents / deaths that result from this or deflect it with some ownership juggling. |
