Using Li Auto MEGA's LCD-first, OLED-later plan, four steps to read a display shortage: cause, substitute, recovery time and user compensation.

When to Use ​

When a new car ships with a substitute part because a custom automotive display is out of stock, and you need to judge the impact on buyers.

Steps ​

  1. Cause: tell whether it is tight custom automotive capacity or a generic component shortage.
  2. Substitute: see which mature part ships first and whether specs are acceptable.
  3. Recovery time: confirm when the original part is expected to return.
  4. Compensation: see whether the original part is swapped in free, when, and in what order.
