I guess I don’t understand why you can order a new truck and get it, while there are trucks already made and undeliverable because they have no chips?

They’re using the available chips for trucks that already have a buyer, no risk of a truck sitting on a lot for a month waiting for a buyer?


The demand is greater than that. People want those trucks, they would sell if they were on a lot somewhere in America…
