The microchip shortage has been wreaking havoc for the better part of this year and the problems are unlikely to go away until the second half of 2022 at the earliest. Many automakers had no other way but to temporarily stop the production of some cars due to the missing semiconductors. Others decided to take out some features and reduce the asking price in order to avoid halting the assembly line.<\/p>\n

As with most car manufacturers, Tesla<\/a> hasn’t been immune to these issues and had to constantly adapt its operations to keep production going as much as possible. That being said, it’s the first time we’re hearing cars are allegedly being shipped to some owners without informing them beforehand about missing equipment. Not only that, but customers paid full price for their electric vehicles rather than getting a discount to make up for the lost features. However, nothing is official at this point.<\/p>\n
