The global semiconductor shortage has forced many manufacturers to suspend production. Among them are Nissan, Toyota, Skoda... However, the Chevrolet brand and its parent company General Motors decided not to resort to such unpopular measures and continue operating their plants.
Nevertheless, since factory warehouses are already overflowing (one plant in Flint alone produces 1000 cars a day), Chevrolet has rented a "vacant lot" in its home state of Michigan and is storing new cars there. Right out in the open. Judging by the photos, most of the idle vehicles are Silverado pickups.
GM hopes that when semiconductors become available, they will be installed on the vehicles, after which the pickups will head to dealerships. However, the chip shortage shows no end in sight, so it is possible that by the time the cars wait for the missing parts, they will turn into scrap metal.
