Tesla is said to have dropped a very basic piece of equipment in an effort to contain manufacturing costs. The decision concerns an item that is almost taken for granted on traditional cars, but that the company no longer appears to see as essential in its current push to simplify production.
The move fits Tesla’s wider strategy: strip out parts, reduce complexity and keep prices under control. For Italian readers, it is a reminder that even premium EV makers are under pressure to protect margins.
