Chip shortage; It has spread to many areas of technology. Considering that some of BMW’s new models will not have a touchscreen due to chip shortages, and that General Motors (GM) had to give up wireless charging and fuel management module in some of its new vehicles, the size of the chip problem seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Cadillac’s Super Cruise feature has also been canceled due to shortages. So long story short, we wouldn’t be wrong if we say that right now is not the best time to buy a new car.

Now, some Tesla users have reported that the USB ports of their newly purchased Model 3s and Model Ys are missing. According to the problem that broke out on November 11; In addition to the USB-C ports located near the center console and rear seats, there seems to be a problem with wireless chargers for electric vehicles. Tesla, on the other hand, states that the only reason behind this problem is the shortage of chips, which has been affecting the automotive industry quite badly for a while.

Customers state that they are not aware of this situation

Even worse, some customers; He claims that Tesla did not tell them that their cars would not have USB ports. If these claims are true, it means that users did not know until they saw the vehicle that the USB ports in their vehicle were missing.

Customers who managed to contact Tesla received an answer from the company that the ports could be ready this December and that they could make an appointment to be installed later. However, this is not a guarantee that the parts will be ready by the given date. This means that the customers who encounter these problems are customers; they are doomed to use a ‘quite expensive wheelie battery’ that cannot even charge their own devices until the problem is resolved.
