This chip shortage is real. Not effecting only the tech. The whole economy will slow down.

Rather than using one specific chip, these are designed to work with an alternative that can be used in the event of delivery problems, the company's head of purchasing Schäfer said.\nTesla is considered the model for this.\nThe company reprogrammed software within three months so that other less scarce chips could be used, enabling the U.S. electric carmaker to weather the crisis better than many others.\nGeneral Motors has said it will work with chip manufacturers like Qualcomm, STM and Infineon to develop microcontrollers that combine several functions previously controlled by individual chips.\n\"We are trying to create an ecosystem that is more resilient, more expandable and always available,\" a company spokesperson said.\nPRIORITISING\nSome carmakers are stockpiling - or what BMW calls \"hole shoring.\"\nThe whole car is built except for a missing part, and can then be completed relatively easily when it shows up.\nOther automakers are also using this strategy. Sometimes vehicles are delivered without certain functions controlled by chips.\nSemiconductors are also conserved for high-quality vehicles, like electric cars, while customers face even longer wait times for low-priced combustion engines.\nThat strategy is slowly reaching its limits. Volkswagen recently had to temporarily stop the production of electric cars in its Zwickau plant in Germany.\nHow well these coping strategies work is not yet clear.\n\"The bill will be presented in mid or late 2022, when you can see who came out of the crisis well and who did not make it so well,\" said McKinsey's Burkacky.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":877295050,"gmtCreate":1637933160871,"gmtModify":1637933160972,"author":{"id":"3585973860502184","authorId":"3585973860502184","name":"MN27","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a11b544b50a084b6af0533c0b412c51","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3585973860502184","authorIdStr":"3585973860502184"},"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/877295050","repostId":1194467120,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":877615662,"gmtCreate":1637923787984,"gmtModify":1637923788170,"author":{"id":"3564917665277560","authorId":"3564917665277560","name":"Ktkw","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b319f06c5f5672546acc9d6f02dec1","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3564917665277560","authorIdStr":"3564917665277560"},"htmlText":"Sure","listText":"Sure","text":"Sure","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/877615662","repostId":1194467120,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":6733207,"gmtCreate":1637923792834,"gmtModify":1637923792925,"authorId":3564917665277560,"author":{"id":3564917665277560,"idStr":"3564917665277560","authorId":3564917665277560,"name":"Ktkw","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b319f06c5f5672546acc9d6f02dec1","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":877615662,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>Great</u>","text":"<u>Great</u>","html":"<u>Great</u>"}],"langContent":"CN"},{"id":877618259,"gmtCreate":1637923267954,"gmtModify":1637923405508,"author":{"id":"3572474257232421","authorId":"3572474257232421","name":"QArmieeQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4880f6ec2e047cce565a00b5fd10d91f","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3572474257232421","authorIdStr":"3572474257232421"},"htmlText":"This chip shortage is real.
