I'm not as optimistic as you about the technical capabilities of OEMs and Tier 1s at designing good silicon and software. They're monstrously good at producing millions of thingsthat will survive the most horrendous conditions imaginable at surprisingly economical prices, but terrible at modern electronics and software. That inability keeps me employed, so slight bias here. As for simply using extended range components, Tesla actually did that for several years of the Model S infotainment system. Turned out that wasn't enough and the components started failing after a couple years [1].
