Ummm...didn't auto makes do this to themselves and us? They misjudged the affect the pandemic would have on new car buyers and they shit the bed by canceling a bunch of their scheduled orders.
This is the perfect time for auto manufacturer's to decide if they'd rather sit on extra inventory or deal with a shortage for the next time they are faced with a similar decision on canceling orders from their suppliers or not.
I mean the auto manufacturers had to close down their plants due to an overhyped virus. Union laborers stayed out, and have stay out as long as they possibly can justify.
