Civilization.

There are still massive disruptions in the supply chain leading to a shortage of new, and used vehicles.

Until there's more supply than demand you aren't going to see much price movement.

Various news articles are reporting people flipping new Tesla's to used car dealers for more than they paid.

However used prices don't seem to be spiking as much as they were.

Have manufacturers stopped production or are they just piling up unfinished vehicles?

IIRC there was quite a bit of piling up going on but eventually manufacturers have decided (as an example) “eh this car doesn’t really need that chip that controls cruise control, ship it” to some extent.

Cut production, it was just in the news that they cut another 100k-180k vehicles the other weem from their production schedules for the year for chip and other supply chain disruptions.

Idiocracy?

About the closest phenomenon I can think of is normalcy bias.
