Yes Sir I did, sad to see all those F-150 and Transit vans get totaled. Insurance going to pick that little mishap up for sure.

Nice, I work at Bosch making injectors. We’re off a week every month because of the chip shortage. Be glad when this is over.

Wonder if Ford can salvage the chips from those trucks. Ins company probably owns them now.

Should give Farley a call and suggest it, great idea.

Hopefully at least they learned from it, not good being wholly dependent on a single manufacturer, but possibly unavoidable. I wonder why they don't or couldn't use Intel or nVidia, aside from a massive retooling or something...

I doubt Intel/nVidia makes chips for this type of application.
