Every vehicle needs ten thousand parts from hundreds of suppliers in order to be fully assembled and shipped. Tesla could outrun the supply chain crunch on 9,999 parts and still it only takes one missing part to halt production.
- totalZero 5y agoHence the problem for every manufacturer of consumer technology. The guy who almost outruns a hungry lion still gets eaten. Not sure how we can call that "outrunning the supply chain crunch."
- simondotau 5y agoIt appears they have successfully "outrun the supply chain crunch" on the high volume Models 3/Y but not so much on the much lower volume Models S/X. My guess is the OP's order is for the latter.
