I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the delivery-production gap narrowed last quarter when inventory on display clearly ballooned. Is this because:
1. This inventory growth was specific to the US? Are other markets not growing inventory?
2. A huge number of vehicles were in transit at the end of March and finally hit delivery center inventory in early April, and for the rest of the quarter Tesla sold all cars it produced, with few units in transit at the end of June? I did see an alarming amount of Model 3 SR inventory just before the April 18th IRA credit reduction.
3. Something else I couldn’t think of?
