This is the key: Tesla's goal is increasing new-car production. Diverting intermediate assemblies into spare parts inventories directly competes with that goal.

This is the key: Tesla's goal is increasing new-car production. Diverting intermediate assemblies into spare parts inventories directly competes with that goal. If Tesla had spare manufacturing capacity this wouldn't be as pressing. As they bring more online it would presumably ease, though with lag while the backlog of demand is drained.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoIt’s unknown if Telsa has spare parts capacity. What is know is that distributing parts for warranty repairs is a cost to the company. It seems their plan is to let warranty claims languish until at least the next financial period.
- droithomme 7y agoSounds like a brillant plan. Do you feel that knowledge of total lack of serviceability for cars more than a few years old might discourage more that a modicum of potential new buyers. And if so would it make financial sense to hire 50¢ armies to annihilate any attempts to share such information online and discredit its promulgators.
