Tesla found a solution to the shortage of supply

In the past six months, the problem of the shortage of automotive chips has been gradually magnified. So far, many automakers can only transition by cutting production or even suspending production. But Tesla recently announced that it has found a solution that will protect it from insufficient chip supply.

Recently, Tesla CEO Musk believes that the current emergency solution is to choose a brand-new chip supplier. It seems simple, but it can actually solve the urgent need.

Tesla stated that at the end of the first quarter of 2021, we need to quickly solve the problem of global chip supply shortages, including the extremely rapid shift to brand-new chip production while developing firmware for new chips produced by new suppliers.

But it is not easy to do this, because Tesla must quickly develop a new chip control program. At the same time, it is also necessary to find a new company to manufacture and modify the corresponding firmware to solve the compatibility problem with other different chips.
