List of semiconductor fabrication plants - Wikipedia

I guess we do have semiconductor manufacturers in the US but they don't create the chips for cars. I think you are right with all the setbacks we've gone through over the past 2 1/2 years, its understandable as to why we have a shortage now. Looks like I'll try next year for the car when the dealerships are starving for customers again (hopefully).

Some of the chip manufacturers designed chips, but had them made outside of their home countries. Samsung is the world’s largest chip manufacturer.

Only some of Samsung’s chips are made in Korea. They have fabs elsewhere.

If it's a matter of cheap labor, why can't the US build some plants in some of the "root cause of immigration" countries? That would improve their lot, and ours.

The other thing I'm thinking is that the current administration is heavily pushing for electric cars, and seem content to leave gas prices at unprecedented levels. I'm wondering how motivated car manufacturers are to build new gasoline powered cars, when there is political movement afoot to discourage the sale and use of them?
