According to CNBC, Tesla's internal letter shows that in response to the chip shortage, Tesla has downgraded the Model 3 and Model Y cars made in Shanghai, removing one of the two electronic control units in the electronic power steering system. CNBC says tens of thousands of adjusted cars have been shipped to customers in China, Australia and Europe.
It is reported that the specific spare parts removed by Tesla are called electronic control units in electric power steering systems, which convert the rotation of the steering wheel into the rotation of the wheels. Before using so many electronic components, cars relied primarily on pumps, steering racks and pinions to convert steering wheel movements into cornering power.
The reason the electronic control unit was removed was that Tesla engineers considered it redundant and installed primarily as a backup. It is worth mentioning that the reduction control unit will also save Tesla costs in the short term, of course, provided that there will be no safety problems after the system changes.
According to the surging news, Tesla's official customer service in China said that "every vehicle we leave the factory must comply with national regulations." (Webmaster's House)
