I am glad to know that Tesla is aware of this and working on it, and that progress is being made. In addition to reducing the backlog from 1 year to 6 months, they talked specifically about the parts problem at the annual meeting *and* the last conference call and they are clearly focusing hard on it.
It is critical to produce car parts *significantly faster* than producing cars. However, if they've built up the sort of backlog of missing parts which they clearly have built up, it takes quite a while to catch up, even once you start producing enough parts.
I have found that once Tesla top management is aware of a serious problem, it *does* get fixed, even if it takes a year or two to fix it.
So I'd tell people to go ahead and buy the Tesla, but if they're accident-prone, maybe wait a year until the parts problem gets sorted out.
The problems you should worry about are the ones where management is acting like there's no problem. Like the inability to get people on the phone who know what they're talking about.
Update.
Its going to take 5-7 days to get the order into Tesla's System.
Its going to take 1-2 months for the repair.... AFTER ALL of the parts arrive.
I won't see my car until January.
I was asked earlier - Do you wish you had purchased a different car?
So, after your accident, you're now having to wait until after July 4th, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year,....I'm just counting holidays here, Lol. There's no guarantee that your car will be done by January. This is so wrong on all levels at Tesla. Who gives a *sugar* about Space X, Boring company, semis,..... when there are CURRENT problems like this. Has EM abandoned Tesla vehicles operations, and moved on to his other businesses?
So while I'm absolutely not discounting anyone else's issues or timelines, I would point out that my Model S was rear ended a couple of years ago and the repair took 3 days. It required replacing the bumper cover among other things but 3 days is all it took. EDIT: Sorry, the work from initial estimate to completion took 10 calendar days so it's fair to point out it took at least a few days for the body shop to get the part, car was only in for the 3 days.
That being said, yes, going from 1yr to 6 months is still an absurdly long time to wait and trying to point that out as a positive is frustrating beyond frustrating.../QUOTE]
The Tesla of 2019 is an entirely different company than the Tesla of 2017. The Tesla of 2017 would replace our yellow-banded screens under warranty. The Tesla of 2019? Nope. The Tesla of 2019 cares only about keeping Wall Street happy so they can retain access to the capital markets. So until Wall Street cares about parts availability, Tesla won't care about parts availability.
Statisticians would know that including a value of infinity in an series would make the average value infinite.The median is more interesting, because it's likely that there are some parts for which the waiting time is well night infinite. These tend (if you take the average) to skew the metric. The median is a more robust metric for a non-normal distribution when you have outliers.
Of course for Tesla not having outliers _is_ actually important, so for them it makes sense to compute the average as well.
Statisticians would care about the difference.

Not quite completely wrong (I do agree the median is usually less efficient but I chose my words carefully) but that's quite off-topic.but this is completely wrong
Precisely my point. It doesn't tell you much about the rest of the distribution except for that one outlier (assuming that there is only one part that has an infinite wait time). Your median and modes could still be "reasonable", though.Statisticians would know that including a value of infinity in an series would make the average value infinite.
Not quite completely wrong (I do agree the median is usually less efficient but I chose my words carefully) but that's quite off-topic.
And yes, the mode would also be interesting, no argument from me on that.

I was asked earlier - Do you wish you had purchased a different car?
I would be interested in the typical wait time for different types of spares/repairs.
Update.
Its going to take 5-7 days to get the order into Tesla's System. -- No change from my experience
Its going to take 1-2 months for the repair.... AFTER ALL of the parts arrive. -- as expected
I won't see my car until January. -- I'd hope for late September. January seems a bit crazy.
