I know why it's happening I just wonder how long their inventory tail has grown at this point or if they have scaled back production to the point it's not threatening to take over every random parking lot in the nation.
- TheAlchemist 1y agoThey don't split the numbers among models - so it's stuck with the 'Other models' production. It is scaling back significantly - it was 24k cars produced in Q2 2024, down to 13k this Q. Deliveries where ~3k lower than production each quarter, so there are 15k of them stuck somewhere. Given the pace of depreciation, they may even soon be available at the price Elon initially announced !
