You can tell the chip shortages are certainly getting better by the sales of SUVs, which are WAY up after the first quarter of this year, as compared to the first quarter of 2022.
As I analyze the numbers, most automakers except Toyota are up year-over-year. Jeep was also down in a couple of models, but pretty much every other automaker made gains this year.
