The drop in Model S/X sales is huge (17,650 2019 Q2 -> 2340 2021 Q2). I'm sure buyer are just preferring the newer model 3/Y, and the total sales have grown a lot. But the Fremont plant producing S/X really isn't producing much.
Edit: Turns out the shift is just a retooling
- vpj 5y agoI guess most people were waiting for the Plaid
- mrfusion 5y agoYou’re saying basically 17k to 2k??
- nickik 5y agoIts because they renewed the model and they can't produce anywhere close to that many of the new ones. The 2340 are basically all S, X is not being produced. I will like not go up to peak, but it will be much higher then it is now.
- blendergeek 5y agoTesla actually halted production of the S/X for most of the first half of 2021 as they retool for the Plaid Model S/X.
- GhostVII 5y agoNot particularly surprising given that Model S production was shut down for almost all of H1 to switch over to the refresh.
- linsomniac 5y agoModel S production line was turned off for much of the quarter because of retooling and switching to the refreshed "Plaid" model.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 5y agoThey just couldn't produce enough due the the revamp and some missing parts. And the once they produced couldn't all be delivered in time before end of Q.* The X production line was off for the full quarter, and the S has just restarted. Try ordering an S/X and see the delivery ETA!
- bryanlarsen 5y agoThey stopped building the Model S&X for several months to cutover to refresh (Plaid et al). So that's 2340 cars sold in a 3 week period.
