### Global Chip Shortage, Automotive Inventory Crisis

- **Episode:** [1342: Disinfo Dozen](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1342-disinfo-dozen.md)

The global semiconductor shortage is causing severe inventory depletion at car dealerships in Austin, Texas, forcing dealers to source second-hand vehicles from out of state. Claims that the shortage stems from "unexpected demand" are met with skepticism, suggesting instead that single-source bottlenecks for minor entertainment chips are stalling entire assembly lines. Used car values, specifically for low-mileage 2016 Mazda 3 models, are reportedly skyrocketing due to the lack of new vehicle availability.
