Say it takes 5 minutes to manually enumerate all the features of a car. This seems more than generous. An intern can go through 12 cars per hour at this rate. This is a major inconvenience, but it doesn't sound like a thing that would completely disrupt business.
A smart intern would take photos of the window stickers, OCR them, put them in a Google drive folder, and salespeople could then search them. Could be done as fast as walking from car to car.
It started last Wednesday, and the estimate for the fix is “several days” according to the AP. I think it will be difficult even to get somebody hired in time.
