Idiots are born every day and they continue to pay these insane prices. People have so much more power than they think, if everybody quit buying them it would not take long for the prices to normalize.
That is one thing that Biden is going to fix for you, of course many people will lose their job so you may not be able to afford a new car at 6000 under msrp
It is more than just the supply chain, it is an intentional drive to increase the cost of non fuel efficient vehicles to drive consumers to highly fuel efficient vehicles and electric. It makes a 60K Tesla look cheap now in comparison.
Biden‘s executive order on fuel economy standards are nuts. They expect ~8% fleet improvement year over year improvement, and roughly a 30% overall improvement from 2021 to 2026. I doubt car manufacturers can redesign engines that fast and make those improvements…Thus to achieve a fleet average you have to drive up the cost of the non fuel efficient cars to drive people the most fuel efficient cars.
It is all being done so the American family can save money !
