Tesla's domestic Model 3/Y "de-allocation" is related to the L3 autopilot function

Recently, two Tesla employees broke the news and an internal letter showing that Tesla has decided to remove one of the two electronic control units in the Model 3 and Model Y bogies produced in some of the Shanghai Gigafactories. Tesla engineers believe that one of the above electronic control units is redundant because it is mainly installed as a backup.

The reduction control unit will save Tesla costs in the short term. Some analysts pointed out that one is because of the global chip shortage; the other is that Tesla is facing the pressure of sales targets in the fourth quarter, and the reduction control unit can ensure the smooth production of the Shanghai factory in the short term. It is reported that the spare parts removed by Tesla are electronic control units in electric power steering systems, which are mainly used to control the rotation of wheels. The lack of an electronic control unit as a backup may affect the safety of the vehicle. Tesla's decision has affected tens of thousands of cars sold in China, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany and other parts of Europe. It is worth noting that Tesla did not disclose this situation. It's unclear whether Tesla will make a similar decision on models made or shipped to the U.S. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please inform and delete)
