Chip release

What's everyone's opinion on when all these trucks get released? The way I see it is that if it's a mass release 21's and 22's will be mixed in possibly going into 23 and although the used market price will lower they would have to put huge rebates on them.

I think it is a mistaken assumption that there are massive amounts of trucks sitting that are suddenly going to show up in inventory. They have been trickling out already for a some time now and the majority were special orders already sold. There is no way you are going to see an influx of dealer inventory that triggers rebates anytime soon. I agree that the current problems will persist well into 2022.
