Tesla has, for the most part, been lucky enough to dodge the worst of the semiconductor shortage’s fallout. That luck now seems to be running out. Tesla has reportedly had to remove two electronic control units in the Model 3 and Model Y in order to deal with the semiconductor shortage.
Sources told CNBC that tens of thousands of these models have already shipped out to customers in the U.K., Australia, China, and Europe. And no, Tesla hasn’t told these customers their vehicles will be arriving without the steering components, in case you were wondering. Tesla has said nothing about the change at all, in fact.
