Except it takes weeks/months to prep a fab to start making these chips. If the car companies start getting their orders then switch back to JIT manufacturing, then the fabs won’t want to waste these months idle thrashing the manufacturing lines across products. Raising prices only helps if you can get more supply at a higher price, and you can’t when it takes months to start.
