The addition of a second platform and influential supplier has created a major supply - chain advantage as well . We are already seeing evidence of better access and pricing for high - value technology shared across programs ( e.g. , battery , high performance chips , displays , etc. ) , and we are already benefiting from the influence of each partner to ensure supply of critical components such as chipsets and semiconductors .
