so like 46,000 "vehicles" were so visibly shoddy they dumped them in an old fashioned, Texas-style garbage hole and wrote them off?
I’ve seen photos of private lots packed row after row of Teslas just sitting there collecting dust. Must be some game Musk plays where they get shuffled around so on paper they don’t show up as surplus stock.
where did they even lose 20k+ vehicles to? Can't just be in transit right?
edit: I say 20k because its 20k MORE than the discrepancy last year at this time
edit 2: I did a little googling, seems like for the past year+ they're keeping production at full bore and just trying to incentivize more demand but it isn't there (for teslas, some other brands are garnering more interest). There are overflow lots within a few miles of most of their dealers, plus probably more elsewhere?
Why are Tesla deliveries down?
The EV company blamed the decline on the early phases of a production ramp up for the updated Model 3, as well as factory shutdowns caused by the Red Sea conflict and an arson attack at a Berlin factory.
Consumer sentiment may also play a role. Reuters on Monday reported that a recent survey by market intelligence firm Caliber found the number of would-be Tesla buyers in the U.S. is shrinking in part because of CEO Elon Musk’s polarizing persona.
Tesla delivery numbers are down and stock prices are falling as a result
