I think "lying" is pretty harsh. The pandemic caused many, many people and companies to have trouble predicting future demand. To me, it's a miracle that the American economy has kept going as strong as it has. I know it's very important for car manufacturers to predict future demand, and I know it's an extreme frustration for many people whose logistics are screwed up, but really, it shouldn't be a surprise that the car manufacturers mispredicted the impact of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.
