Incase some of you folks missed it,anyone in the market for a new GM vehicle take notice iffin your sights are on a high end rig..."Heated seats and heated steering wheel" no longer an option,not available after build date of 11/15/2021.... seems another micro chip shortage,they didn't say chinese chip this time but?

They are not available as an "option" on certain trim levels. They will still come on the high end models where it's standard equipment. That is how I read it anyway. Just had a buddy order one. #firstworldproblems.

When do we think the microchip shortage will be done? This used vehicle market is terrible.

As long as Biden is in office, a chip shortage may be the least of our problems. So in other words I doubt it’ll done anytime soon.

Pulled the trigger today on a 2021 Ford F150 XLT/Sport V8/5.0/400hp...max tow package/6.5ft box. Pick it up next week - they had to order the trifold hard cover tonneau cover. Hope she delivers for the next 7 years the way the 2014 has! New Truck Nov 2021.jpg

A 5.0 302 CI puts out 400hp wow I think my first 73 f100 with a 5.0 had 145 hp. unbelievable what they get out of small blocks these days.

My wife’s cousin has worked for Chrysler for thirty years. She says there are like literally hundreds of so called “chips” in these new vehicles. So you expect this to continue on for a long time. It’ll be different chips off and on. She claims dodge won’t be up to full assembly line capacity until sometime in 2023 at the earliest

50 years of sending our jobs to China is sure paying huge dividends now. Good bless those cheap prices

Free trade and the relentless focus on only corporate profits eventually has caught up to many American companies.

yep - lots and lots and lots of people in line for their share of contributing absolutely nothing to what’s produced
