Likely chip shortages that is pledging the industry.

Maybe this will give them time to backfill parts.

Or maybe just a maintenance window.

“When considering Tesla had excess inventory in the fourth quarter of 2020, and has never been able to sell-out its production capacity, we see the company as currently demand constrained, rather than production constrained,” Johnson wrote in a note earlier this week.

I think those that are waiting on cars ordered late last year/early this year would say that is likely a false statement.

 

[enderokc]

Well crap!! now how long will I have to wait?!?!?! ugh!!

It is due to chip shortages. Teslarati and/or Electek have the article.

I believe those articles speculate it’s chip shortages. They a short on actual information.

You could take it as a glass half empty scenario. Or for those waiting, you could take it as a glass half full:

Could Tesla Model 3 Single-Piece Mega Casting Be A Reason For Factory Shutdown?

Maybe there's an upside to the shutdown.

I work for the PCB industry and we are having raw material supply shortages as well, I am assuming this is related.

Wait, so now there are information shorts? I should check Reddit to see if there are a bunch of people buying information to drive the price up. Now how do I sign up for robinhood?

Samsung has fab in Texas shut down due to Texas being Texas with no connection to national grid. Work on Giga Texas also stopped. Elon is going to need lots of batteries to keep Giga Texas on line, I mean operating while off line. Actually doing libertarianism and de-regulation rather than just talking about it has consequences.

Another opportunistic thread for me to say “Soooo glad I got a late 2020 model”

Completely redesigning the 3. (You heard it here first). Front will have bench seats, a joystick for steering, horn will have the sound of a steer, car completely covered with solar cells to power the Keurig, sound proofing from the back seat passengers, video screen on the ceiling to locate stars, door handles inside will be a crank like the old style window crank that slowly opens the door. Those are a few of the best changes.

I’m with you. I was torn between taking a 2021 off the lot in January or ordering. I was gonna wait and get a new one in 6 weeks. So glad I grabbed the car that was available. Sounds like it would be double that.
