Taiwan has been having a drought. They need large amounts of water to manufacture semiconductors. Fires at factories in Japan, where a lot of the automobile chips are also made, have also knocked out the supply. You also have the idiot governor in CA holding everything up still.
The biggest issue is that auto manufacturers anticipated they wouldn't be selling cars, so they canceled or reduced orders. Those chips then were allocated to other companies that correctly predicted the need for them while people sat at home hoarding money. They don't get to jump to the front of the line without paying more, and they won't do it
