A few days ago, it was reported that due to the shortage of chip supply chains, Tesla has reduced the allocation of Model 3 and Model Y cars manufactured in Shanghai, removing one of the two electronic control units in the bogie. It is reported that these vehicles will be sold to China, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany and many other markets.
The news was reported by the U.S. Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC), which quoted tesla internal information showing that Tesla decided to remove an electronic control unit in the electric power steering system due to a shortage of chips. Some media contacted Tesla China's official customer service in this regard, and the other party said, "Every vehicle we leave the factory must comply with national regulations." ”
CNBC quoted Tesla employees as saying that after discussion they did not see the need to inform customers of the news because the part was redundant and did not work in the current L2-level assisted driving system. However, to achieve L3 level assist function and allow the driver to release the steering wheel, a dual electronic control unit system is required, and these vehicles need to be modified. Tens of thousands of adjusted vehicles have entered the markets of China, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany and other parts of Europe, the report said.
