Jalopnik / Go Media always is one for clickbait titles, but as per Rule#5, I'm not changing their clickbait title or adding my commentary to it.

The actual article is about how various EVs are down 30% in range due to this summer heatwave. Teslas included.

Do you have a source for the claim of issues with Tesla electronics exceeding 140°? I did a little bit of Googling but couldn’t find anything to support that.

AMD RDNA 2 GPUs aren't rated for automotive temperatures. They're obviously a consumer chip.

The yellowing of screens is well known to be a heating issue as well. So multiple components are not automotive grade.
