Ukushoda kwama-semiconductors kwenza isimo sibe nzima

Ngenkathi ukuqubuka kwegesi kudala kugqugquzele abathengi ukuthi bashintshele kwezinye izindlela zomnotho, njengoba bezimisele ngokusobala ukwenza lapha, ukushoda kwezinto zokwakha kanye nama-semiconductors okubangelwe yilolu bhubhane kunciphise kakhulu ukuhlinzekwa kwezimoto ezintsha. Izintengo zezimoto nazo zisezingeni lamarekhodi, ngakho-ke noma uthola okuthile ofuna ukukuthenga, uzokhokha kakhulu ngakho.

Isilinganiso sezindleko zemoto entsha sikhuphuke safinyelela ku-$46,085 ngoFebhuwari, futhi njengoba uJessica Caldwell, isikhulu solwazi e-Edmunds, aphawula ku-imeyili, izimoto zikagesi zanamuhla zivame ukuba yizinketho ezibiza kakhulu. Njengoba u-Edmunds ebonisa, uma ungayithola, isilinganiso senani lokuthengiselana lemoto entsha kagesi ngoFebhuwari kwakuyidola (nakuba kungacaci ukuthi ukuphumula kwentela kusithinta kanjani leso sibalo).

 “Onyakeni odlule, izimoto ezilungele imvelo, ikakhulukazi izimoto zikagesi, sezibaluleke kakhulu kubathengi baseMelika njengoba abakhiqizi bezimoto abaningi bekhiqiza imikhiqizo emisha futhi bezibophezele ngokuqinile ekusaseni elinogesi. Kepha ukwanda kwentshisekelo muva nje kuhlobene kakhulu nentengo yegesi edalwe yimpi yase-Ukraine,” kusho uCaldwell. “Ngeshwa, ukuthenga imoto kagesi akulula kangako njengamanje ngenxa yokushoda kwempahla, futhi abathengi abangazwani nentengo abathintwa kakhulu amanani entengo kaphethiloli aphakeme cishe bazobona uguquko njengendlela elula.

Futhi futhi, uma ungayithola ngentengo efanelekile. I-Promising inenani lama-$57,115 ku-$60,000 elayishwe ngefomethi ye-AWD, futhi kwakungavamile ukubona ezinye ku-$70,000-to-$ range. Okubi nakakhulu ukuthi abadayisi bezimoto sebeyahlanya ngenxa yokwenyuka kwamanani entengo, njengoba nabakhiqizi bezimoto bebancenga ukuba behlise amanani.

Kunamasu amaningana ongawasebenzisa, kodwa okubalulekile wukuvumelana nezimo. Uma ungayidingi imoto entsha njengamanje futhi ungalinda ukuze uthenge, cishe kufanele uhambe lo mzila. Uma kungenjalo, vumelana nezimo mayelana namamodeli nezinketho ozidingayo futhi ulungele ukusesha ngaphandle kwendawo yakho kunokuba ubungajwayele. Izintengo zezimoto ezisetshenzisiwe sezivele zaba phezulu kakhulu, ngakho-ke kuyafana nakulokho ngaphambili.
