[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 328931, member: 6150"] Mostly all tech is made over seas. I would imagine that $80K pickup goes up to $120K real quick if we would have to produce chips in America with responsibly mined metals and fair wages. Just a guess though. All auto makers would need to get on board with it or get priced out by the others. I think I read somewhere that an iphone would cost 3x if it was made in the US. That's just one big chip. I sold my commuter car a couple months ago. Put 70,000 miles on it in four years and sold it in a day for $1,000 less than I paid. I had 5 offers from people that wanted to buy it and put it on Turo before I actually sold it. Noone can get rental cars up here so anyone with an extra vehicle is throwing it on Turo for $1K a week. I would've done that, but the car had an open recall on an airbag that was SIX MONTHS out on the part. So Turo wouldn't allow it on their site. In laws just sold their 5th wheel toy hauler for $8K more than they bought it new in 2021. I am seeing prices for campers, ATVs, boats, and houses starting to drop rapidly around here. Drove to town Saturday and noticed the dealers probably had 2x the vehicles they had a couple month ago. [/QUOTE]
