Has anyone figured out the theory behind Tesla's regional delivery strategy? It seems that they overwhelm all their transport contractors, delivery center staff, and post-delivery repair staff with these highly focused surge deliveries. Why not just send a few truckloads in every direction every day?
They don't have a ton of manufacturing capacity - in theory, they want to deliver all the orders by the end of the quarter. They can wait until the end of the 2nd month to even consider california because getting a car delivered in california takes 2 days from Fremont. It might take 2-3 weeks to get across the country.
If they were able to build enough to fulfill demand across the country, that strategy would work. Unfortunately, there is more demand than there is capacity so they have to fulfill off the further distance.
