COVID had a huge effect on the auto industry, and now manufacturers are removing features like auto stop/start because they don't have the computer chips to operate car systems. Dealerships are also running low on inventory, with cars spending record low times on the lots.

I just got prescribed glasses for the first time in my life at 29. They arrive Saturday. Feeling oddly self conscious about wearing them.
@@LoneStarStinger totally natural don’t stress it. People are going to notice, but most people that voice their opinion say positive things. Plus what matters is the CLARITY of vision achieved when you employ the right pair of glasses. They will quickly become essential and worth the time and effort to learn how to maintain them for optimal performance+life. Biggest downside is feeling borderline disabled when they have just broken or been lost or just not on your face. Which brings me to the second rule of glassesing is always keep a spare set!

We are short hundreds of thousands of parts (chips). It would be impractical and impossible to keep that much inventory of all your parts. JIT is not to blame for this
JIT isn’t the issue, it’s been an unusual couple of years, and the decision makers that decide what those levels will be made a mistake in guessing what was gonna happen with car sales because of the pandemic.
@@almostanengineer Yeah, exactly. The chip shortage was going to happen either way. With or without JIT

If we had invested in actually producing these semi conductors ourselves instead of outsourcing the production to China we’d be in so much better shape.
That goes for a lot of things though, because America is heavily dependent on China to produce many of our components, that's what allows us to price products cheaply and chant Capitalism!
TSMC is facing shortages as well
To build a semiconductor factory it cost billions of dollars! And not even with the money you can build one you need ths smartness! Btw this isnt chinas fault. We get out semiconductors chips from tawain which china is trying to claim is aa there but usa doesnt let them. Please do your research
@@TonyMontana_92 I’m fairly certain America was one of the first to innovate the technology for semiconductors, but a lot of the production was outsourced because of higher wages. I appreciate your insight, but I did at least some research.
@@MBustos828 yes thats true but building a semiconductor plan cost several billions on dollars and it isnt permenant. I have family in the that work for honda and tell me this is the reason used cars are getting sold almost as new cars because of the chips.. the plant in tawain had a fire look into it
As an engineer working in the automotive industry, I can confirm auto manufacturers themselves reduced their demand of everything that comes from a foreign supplier to about 50%.

It's a good time to take stock of how disposable we treat things. Throwing away perfectly good working stuff cause it doesn't have the newest wifi smart assistant butt is wasteful. Though with JIT production whatever our consumption rate is it would have been brought to a screeching halt by a disruption anywhere in the supply line.
I grew up poor, so for me when I buy something I’ve learned to take care of my things and learned to mend and fix stuff. I’m not poor anymore but I still try to keep that mentality.

@@ODST_Republic I mean regulating a capitalist economy is a better deal for the people than spending more money to keep the cogs of the government running to give out free services. You need to set up at least 2 bodies, one to give out the services and one to see if any fraud or abuse of power is happening with the body of government.

Everything is collapsing because US stupid war with China. It will go from bad to worst because too many rich don't know how to or want to build anything for the people, all they can do is just fund like Gov. US was on borrowed time with Chinese trade who was actually building stuff for Americans. Chinese built stuff for their own citizens as well as US. There was a joint plan for High Speed Rail with USA. They dropped it. Joint space tech that could lead to joint early Mars colonization missions was also dropped.
Did you need it though?
@@anarchyamp Yes, America needs it badly. They are stalling the world to death. Aliens are already watching.
8:50 That was exactly what I had to do to get a brand new FJ Cruiser in 2017… waited months for it to be assembled, shipped and delivered. No regrets, love it every day!
I work in automotive supply chain and it has been an absolute nightmare for almost 2 years because of this. The OEM I work for uses JIT production. Space is at a premium so we can't keep many, if any, extra parts on the shop floor. Very well explained in the video. Great video.
Nolan only barely touched upon Toyota's modifications to their own JIT methodology. Several years ago Toyota realized that there are SOME parts that MUST be exempt from JIT because an interruption in their supply would mean delays in the span of weeks or months. Chips was one such item. So Toyota invested in a stockpile that will allow them to continue manufacturing cars (albeit at a lower rate). Other car makers did not make this change (because why waste money, right?) and thus learned this lesson the very hard way.
Bro please change your profile pic
Hey! Do you mind if we connect somewhere?
Yeah I'm seeing the same thing where I work. Parts go on cars within hours of leaving the truck and purchasing is struggling to keep up. However looking back on history, every 5-7 years there seems to be a supply chain interruption. The question is: Is it worth it to stockpile parts when models change every few years and events like covid or natural disasters can't be predicted or forecasted?
ruclips.net/video/SXOqUGSlgdE/видео.html
This was great! One thing that wasn't covered that answers the question of "Well, why can't Ford just pay the manufacturers to make more chips for them?" has an interesting reason behind it.
Basically - chip manufacturers allocate blocks of time/materials to companies months and often years in advance to make their specific chip. There is often enough time and material left over for a chip buyer to request more chips if their demand is higher than expected, but with the shortages and delays all of these blocks are booked solid and no one will give up their place in line. What's more - the tools needed to make these chips are enormously complicated and expensive, which means it can take YEARS to expand their production ability, so "just making more" is basically impossible.
So basically: The machines to make more chips take a long time to make.
All of the existing machines are currently working overtime, but it's just not enough to keep up with all the different industries asking for more chips.
@@jlco Fabs normally run between 80 to 90% of their max capacity, to make way for cleaning and maintenance or any urgent industry orders, currently they are running at 100%. These fabs usually take 3 to 5 years to build including the massive buildings, clean said buildings, certify them, receive the necessary machinery, find the workforce, supporting infrastructure (such pipes roads, water filtration systems, and etc.) calibrate, and setup said machinery. On current time tables we are looking at late 2022 at the earliest before the silicon shortage is resolved by new fabs, and this is assuming that there are no environmental or political disputes that affect the existing supply, as the largest company for such production is TSMC a Taiwanese company with 55% of the market share, and most of it's fabs on Taiwan which has A) been having a major water shortage and B) been embroiled in longstanding political disputes (since 1927) With the Peoples Republic of China and Taiwan is controlled by the democratic Republic Of China, both currently claim to be the legitimate government of China and the PRC which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party has declared that they will "Retake Taiwan by 2049" (though they have never had control of Formosa the Island on which Taiwan resides) by military force if necessary. One of the primary reasons that this has not happened yet is Taiwan has the verbal military backing of the US as the US has brought their Pacific assets to bear everytime the PRC has attempted to take Taiwan nothing yet has happened since the shelling in the 50's and the regular breaches of Taiwanese airspace by PLAAF, though actions may soon occur as the US is currently demonstrating weakness, and much of the PRC's workforce will start to retire in 2028. Sooooo honestly anything could happen.
@@g.l7219 - the bots are getting really bad. And worse, there's no easy way to report an account for it - you can report individual posts, though.
@@wh0_am_152 Also, very few fabs can produce 200mm silicon for the outdated processes needed to make chips for cars at the volume car manufacturers want. Desktop computer chip lithography these days is 5-12nm. The chips these cars use are very power-inefficient and there isn't that much reason for chip manufacturers to make them because the yields are not as good with the 40+nm chips cars need with their worse yields and fewer features per square mm. Desktop chips were using 40nm processes 12+ years ago. It would speed up the production a smidge and there would be more wafer manufacturers if the car industry didn't demand older process nodes.
I never thought I'd say this but this video came in clutch for me 6 months after it was posted because I used it as evidence for a research paper for my college class. Yall do great every video so keep it up.
This is just a wake up call where we actually need to make silicon in multiple countries
Micro-chips are made in multiple countries..... That's not the problem. The problem is the 20 year old technology that the automotive industry insists on sticking with purely due to price. Every year, the cost to produce the micro-chips that the automotive industry uses, goes down....while the auto makers charge customers more for them.
I know around Louisville there's parking lots FULL of new Fords and Lincolns. Like every large mostly vacant parking lot is packed with them. Drive them out hooked up to a laptop and let them sit all because of one tiny little piece
It’s more than one chip per vechile btw
There probably a good 5-10 mini computers living in all those cars. But it is a little ridiculous, but I guess they’re trying their best with what they’re delt
ruclips.net/video/Cp7SePV4BbU/видео.html
Hey Adam, I know they're no longer in production, but have you driven an MKZ?
@@chriscarguy No, they're doing their best with the decisions they've made.... The "chip shortage" is artificial. It's entirely the fault of the auto makers. The CEO of Intel publicly offered to make every chip the auto industry needs, under the condition that they transition to a process node developed in the last decade. The auto makers, so far, are refusing. It would only take Intel a few months to cover the entire backlog of chips the industry needs. The problem is, Intel would actually lose money by ramping production on 90nm+ micro-chips for the auto industry. To be worthwhile, the chips need to be produced on 45nm or newer process technology as that's what Intel currently has available to them. They would have to invest billions retooling plants to manufacture 90nm+ chips again. The tech industry moved on from 90nm more than a decade ago. The chip fabs aren't going to prioritize products that they only make a few cents on, over products that they make several dollars on.
Ford is supposedly asking owners of new raptor orders if they want to opt out of the auto start/stop system to make production faster
Which I most definitely would. The single worst feature to come to cars, ever.

Fun fact: Many US hospitals ALSO use the just-in-time method to cut down on costs and inventory space. In a facility where it is crucial to have everything you need on hand. Often within minutes or even seconds. While there are people with medical emergencies. God help America.
I doubt it's better in other countries either
@@notoriusdrifter40 It's not. And it's not really because they don't want to store stuff. They just can't. For example, a lot of the isotopes used by x-ray machines, MRI scans, etc, loose their radioactivity within days so they need constant replacing. And certain kinds of medicines like vaccines, also last only days before losing their validity or require specific conditions to be stored at all.
One of the biggest difficulties in distributing the COVID vaccines in some countries is because of the lack of refrigerated transport to keep them cool. In my country, the government actually resorted to borrowing delivery trucks from ice cream companies to mitigate the issue
@@nong333 The gov of most third world countries never plan ahead. That is why China wins in every situation. If you lead a country. Your suppose to plan for the future. Too bad most democratic countries get new leaders and scrap all the plans all together. So where are my flying cars?

old car lol
I traded in my 4 year old Colorado for only $7k less than what I paid for it brand new. It was about 20% depreciation. The use of the vehicle alone for 4 years is worth more than what was depreciated

Business Management Grad here! Great job with the business plan summary and the cons or JIT along with also explaining the pros.

I work for toyota and they announced a 40% reduction to production to focus the remaining supply of semi conductors on the best selling models. At the start, Toyota had stockpiled around 6 months worth of chips. Now the choke point is the chips are made, but there is not enough people to test and ship them.
Perfect time for a drivers car without all the fancy systems !
It's a harsh sell, and would almost be like reinventing the wheel. Modern vehicles have upwards of a hundred different computers in them, alongside about a hundred monitoring components in them. To remove even a fraction of that would require a complete R&D rework of the part of the vehicle they pull the brain from. It's doable, but seeing as they're still making the tech rich cars, and just lotting them lobotomized until they can get the nonessential computers in them, that's a lot of money they have on freeze.
Check out the new Nissan Z
I'm all for driver's cars but unfortunately I don't think it would help much. One of the chips that's in the most demand for cars is display chips for screens. And as of 2018 every new car is required by law to have a backup camera. Tech is just too integrated with safety systems nowadays so unfortunately manufacturers wouldn't be able to release a tech free car even if they wanted to.

I work at NXP which is a pretty big auto manufacture semiconductor company and back in Feb here in Austin TX we had a Big Freeze which caused us to completely shut the Fab down for the first time in over 20 years (due to the huge power outages). It was crazy we are just now getting back up to the numbers we were making before the freeze (which was still down due to COVID).
Also through the whole pandemic we have never shutdown (other then the freeze). It was hell and alot of hoops to jump though but we luckily were able to keep running.
10:14 "Can actually be seen from space"

Thanks for explaining this whole thing clearly!
I worked in manufacturing and saw just in time lose contracts and loss of orders due to time restraints resupply and if anyone missed a work day it would be a snowball affect.
The automotive industry is responsible for a lot of wasted resources - especially when you consider how many cars don't get sold! I would be totally fine waiting 4-6 weeks for a vehicle made to order(and then I could get the exact options I wanted). As opposed to this mass production mess.
Isn't this how it works? I mean, in my country, Spain, when you want a car you go to the dealership, where they have one car, one of each model the company has, you step in, the salesman talks you throu the optionals, show you pic, and then you order the car you want, with the extas you want. You have to wait tho, my father's hyundai took line 6 months to arrive, it was 2003.
Edit: man, that system is wicked, i mean, in europe getting a car is seen as a big investment, and a big thing and as such, the customer has to ve very sure they aer confortable with what they get, otherwise he will not buy that specific car. And besides, if i am buying a product, whatever one i want it exactly as i demand, otherwise i'm going somewere else, it's common sense. It's weird, because in all europe the system is the same, even with american brands such as ford or chevrolet
4-6 weeks would be fine but Audi is looking at 16 month delays, VW around a year, I work at BMW and we're still looking at nearly 6 months for most factory order cars
@@ikebuttle360 yup. I'm still waiting for my BMW since may and it's said to ship "before 2022"
Exactly, so many wasted cars just sitting on lots for nothing.
@@augustusimperator.avi1872 In North America large dealerships usually keep 100+ vehicles on the lot at a time. So it's not uncommon to go to the dealership and walkout with a car the same day.
I felt this I recently just got my used Subaru (it’s the best) but it took months to find the right car and price. My dad told me to wait til the beginning of summer THEN it was wait til the time is right. Took months. Every dealer told me to wait.
Hopefully, this would makes the car manufacturer to go with simpler mechanical solution than electronics.
a lot of it is probably government mandated shit
Or ditch having a microcontroller at every light globe like they do now.
The idea of something like a carbureted DOHC engine is improbable. But the microchip shortage makes that idea possible.
@@adamc7987 Mechanical versions existed from the 1930’s to 1990’s… Microcontrollers made it much lighter and more flexible to have variable timing and direct injection but the underlying technique is quite old.
Buy stock in buggy whip manufacturers. It's the next hot thing.

I foresee the “collector truck” market in 20-30 years being at an all time high. Truck owners know Active Fuel Management, start stop, etc cause nothing but issues in today’s trucks. So a 2021 truck being sold without these, combined with low mileage being sold in 2035-2045 will be astronomically high.
Won’t be any left. All junk crap. Won’t physically last that long. All be recycled. Stuff thats old now, yes. But anything current, gone.
Except it might be hard to even get fuel at that time
It's not the features, it's that GM/Ford/Ram are all prone to having issues.
@@JesperHolmgaard Nah. We'll always need fuel for military vehicles and vehicles used by goverment orgs, police, fire, and EMT.
Can you imagine a country fighting a war with only EVs? No way.
@@MASS1866 ahh Toyota’s will last that long no doubt
As a total loss auto adjuster this video really helps me with my job. Super interesting too. Knowledge is power!
It’s hard to believe how crazy the market for used cars has gotten. Some cars cost more used now than new!
Hell I bought my Miata a couple years ago pre-owned and I could sell it today priced at MSRP as if it was new, it really is insane times
I've always loved how Nolan explains things. His videos are always informative and on point.

Good editorial Nolan. I am not surprised as there’s always long effects from change. I wonder what’ll happen next with cars?
Donut is one of my favorite channels bc i always feel like I learn so much in every video and I love you guys❤️
Price scalpers really have hurt the whole supply chain issue with anything from gpus to car parts. I've been seeing scalpers and private investors hoard anything from pc parts, car parts and yes pokemon lol. They are flipping them for profit at our expense.

Just need to keep it maintained and all good.. I hope.
Yup. I work at dealership that host the "Big 3" American brands.
We went from each lot having at LEAST 500 cars to less than 20, even then a majority are pre-owned trade-ins.
We're even going as far as buying repos and auction just to keep an inventory.
I have been saving for 2 years now for a new Mk7 golf r.
This year I was finally ready to take the plunge but prices have gone up by at least 3k...
Love the video guys 👍
Turns out I finally decided to buy my first new car at the right time. Slipped in right before all this madness really came to a head
Same, bought my car below MSRP (pre-dealer fees and the USA's gas guzzler tax) in December 2020.
lmao same. my dad got a new car around june-july last year right before the chip shortage hit
They'll probably last longer without active fuel management and start stop features and lower the initial cost.
They will the start/stop feature is just absurd. The alternator needed to be beefed up in order to withstand the on/off current demand. And other things that in reality are just annoying.
@@Jaikool001 Imagine how hot the starter motor gets in stop and go traffic.
imagine your battery is low and then your engine turns off because of start/stop and then it cant start again 💀
@@paper_shreds Good point, I wonder if that has happened. Starting does also use a good amount of amperage.
#fuckstartstop
This technology alone is the reason the prices of older cars has risen so much…. Proof its not always a good thing, keep it simple.
Older cars price rise is because the lack of replaceable parts. Some old cars become collectors. It cost tons of money to find new parts for the cars. They are considered phased out. The Gov said by 2030 no more sale of ICE cars. So people want to sell it more in case they want to take the cars apart and replace parts on their own cars.
@@makemap mate, what recreational drugs are you on? Ive been int he spare parts game for 27yrs and what your saying is so far from reality its not funny… why spout on about old cars? This convo is about new cars, its common sense older parts are getting harder to find, but theyre still being made you just have to look harder and pay more. Please keep your comment on topic and not go off on some unrelated tangent
@@jeepnutscotty Not every where. Not all countries have spare parts factory. Yes, you just said you have to pay a price for the spare parts. The increase cost is not worth it for many people who are on to newer cars who can get parts replaced cheaper. I see BMWs for $2000 dollars in Canada. I heard people saying replacing parts cost like thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. Your just better off buying a new car for daily driving. Most old cars are way slower than the new cars and have very high gas usage. Its not worth owning that is why old cars are being phased out. When Gov force EV on us your going to see a lack of parts for ICE engines.
I swear this is tbe 3rd vid they’ve done on this topic…but I’m still watching cuz donut rules!!

The computer chip shortage has had me paranoid about my job security. I work at a bus dealership where most of our vehicles are E-Series vans converted to buses. Well no chips, no new buses. We’ve been surviving off service work and reselling used buses. I’m sorry for all the techs and factory workers having to deal with this.

Yep, I work at KMMG in West Point, Ga where we proudly build the Kia Telluride and we have had modified schedules due to the semiconductor shortages. Everyone these days uses the "Just In Time" supply process.
I’ve definitely been experiencing this shortage. In May, we bought a new 2021 Honda Accord hybrid, and it was the last hybrid on the lot
I worked on the IT department at Ford's Plant in Spain, the biggest, and the only one able to produce a full car from steel spools to finished product, I once saw a NYC Ford Tourneo Connect being finished in the assembly carousel, and I can tell you that the situation is dire, very, very dire.
Everything with Ford is dire.....and it's mostly their own doing.... WTF hires a furniture company CEO to run a damn car company?

Thanks for making me even more happy we bought a new Toyota in Oct. 2020, and a gaming computer in 2019.
Yep, i was going to apply at toyota plant several years ago right before sunami hit Japan. Car production was put on hold because they don't manufacturer an excessive amount parts .
Maybe this will convince automakers that all those bells and whistles aren't really necessary and will start offering vehicles without lane assist, adaptive cruise control, etc. Especially if it means selling a car vs not selling anything.
Tbh who needs lane assist? Or a brake helper
Only old people and disabled people’s need those things
@@tony_5156 Yup, this has caused people to become lazy behind the wheel since they think all those safety features etc, are gonna protect them all the time.
I hope in order to cope up with this event, manufacturers must make a comeback with analog affordable cars.
Here's an idea...get rid of all that needless SMT and Tech in cars, and just build some basic vehicles that the common working folks can afford without going balls deep in debt for years on end.
One example: Dacia Sandero! Although, I don't think it is for sale in North American market.
The problem is the consumers asked for all the latest high tech infotainment systems, all the bells and whistles.
I came to the comments specifically looking for someone to point this out. Surprising that so few see how simple of a fix this is. Just make a few runs of 90's style cars! Engine, wheels, steering wheel, seats. No need to complicate everything. If people want extra crap, they can always go aftermarket! You know, the way it used to be!
@@beegeezee505 The EPA won't let them. The chips are what controls air quality!
People say this but the ones who actually buy new cars want those features. Build a cheap everyman car in the fashion you expect and most people will just buy a more feature laden model used instead. For the features involved and adjusted for infaltion, modern entry level cars are actually very economical/competitive in price. Its the wages half of the equation thats lacking.
i witnessed this first hand. worked at the docks in Washington for Subaru. tons of new cars at the beginning of 2020. nothing left by july.

I just bought a new 21 Tacoma. Order back in May and delivered this past weekend. The Dealer told me he’s had to flat out cancel 9 other customers orders this week with no ETA on when they can even place a new order.
My one worry is that even after supply matches or exceeds demand, prices will continue to stay at thier current (far too) inflated levels. That includes used cars as well.
Took a month to get my new 2021 Trd off road Tacoma! But worth the wait!!! Took possession last week
No chip supply for Auto Start/Stop feature?! That's the best news I have heard all year!
Pretty amazing. I bought my 4Runner TRD OR in July of 2019. They had them lined up on the lot with Tacomas as far as you could see. Half of them were covered in dust, pollen etc. from sitting. They couldn’t give them away.
I bought my 4Runner TRD OR last week and it was 1 of 22 new cars on the entire lot. 1 year ago they had 400 new cars at any given time.
If there are no chips in vaccines, how come there is a global chip shortage?!?! 😂😂( JK )
Dang I don’t know
😂😂😂
There's a shortage of 90nm and larger transistor based chips. There's plenty of supply of 14nm and smaller transistor chips..... Auto industry just refuses to move on from 20 year old technology....
Makes me appreciate being able to buy a 2021 taco trd off road for just about MSRP in the colors/features I wanted, had to wait 3 weeks though
Its videos like this that make me glad that I own a 5spd Honda. Parts everywhere and never breaks
This chip shortage is making me miss my little 4AC powered AE86. The apocalypse will be powered by carburetors lol
As an owner of a handful of old motorcycles I agree
If it looks like Mad Max the world will actually run out of replaceable parts. Movies aren't real life. Don't make it an agenda. Since Covid some autoshops had no new parts to replace parts of the cars because they came from China.
