- deelowe 2y agoI think they are just struggling. Go drive by a tesla dealership. The lots are full. Remember, corporations have real time data on performance. What we see in public disclosures can be over 3 months old by the time it's officially reported.
- bdcravens 2y agoDo they have actual dealerships? My understanding is that they only really have showrooms or service centers, and the lots that they have are just fulfillment centers, not a traditional car lot where you can buy from inventory.
- deelowe 2y agoYeah, I wasn't sure what word to use as they are not traditional dealerships. They do keep inventory on the lots though.
- bdcravens 2y agoI don't think those are typical inventory. The Cybertrucks are on backorder, yet the huge Tesla lot I drive by daily (in Northwest Houston) has many on the lot.
- deelowe 2y agoYou can get a model y same day from the lot. The CT is sitting because of the recall. That's a different issue.
