Incomplete list of links to news reports which should cause you to question the main stream excuse that automotive industry problems are due to pandemic caused computer chip shortages. The biggest proof that it isn’t computer chip shortages, is that electric car sales and production are at record levels, partly because of government mandates and partly because the car makers themselves are shifting to only electric vehicle production!

New combustion engine car sales in China crash for four straight months, blamed on electronic parts shortage, yet at the same time electric car sales are up! This brings up an interesting point; how can computer chip shortages bring combustion engine car production/sales down, while at the same time computer chip dependent electric car production/sales are going up? Is it because governments around the world are banning non-electric cars and the car makers are shifting supplies of computer chips to their e-car production?
