blwnsmoke Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Tesla Model 3 owners in China are angry after finding out the company quietly downgraded the chip inside their cars' computer to an older generation of hardware, Nikkei Asian Review reports. The discovery was made after some customers noticed a mismatch between the part number printed on a sticker inside the car and the Model 3's information sheet. Tesla apologized for the confusion and said supply chain problems caused by the coronavirus meant it was shipping units with the old chip. https://www.yahoo.com/news/tesla-quietly-downgraded-chips-model-100608763.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Well it's a TESLA Chip, so it's 4-6 years more advanced than your typical vehicle electronics... so it's actually still generations ahead of anything ford or GM is putting out. It's really a great value proposition, and an innovative solution that only a disruptor like Tesla could ever produce.
