It's not beyond Tesla's control. Tesla is responsible for choosing its parts. Tesla is responsible for choosing its suppliers. Tesla is responsible for monitoring its suppliers. Tesla is responsible for making adjustments. "The part didn't come in" is a lazy excuse for not delivering a car that was supposed to be delivered in February.

Things aren't looking great for the economy with all these slow to realize impacts from supply chain issues. Not just cars or parts but across so many physical products. It just took a while for all this non-work to rear its head.

The Eternal Question:
”Is it it better to have had and lost a delivery date or never had a delivery date at all?”
”Is it it better to have had and lost a delivery date or never had a delivery date at all?”
Air suspension literally gives .75 inches more than springs. It's not inspector gadget.

Anyone who works with suppliers knows they may fail to live up to their requirements, and then you don't have parts you need. In many cases, by the time you are aware they are not delivering, it may be too late to replace the vendor. Things like tooling requirements and a new vendors prior commitments means you can get stuck, because waiting on the delay is faster than firing the vendor. Consumerism works like an efficient machine, as long as no part of the process breaks down.
Just look at all the chaos Covid has caused. So many consumer products have become scarce or unavailable. ALL companies have the responsibilities you listed, but there you have it. Sometimes things are just beyond the control of the system you have in place.
At my company right now, we are over a year behind schedule on a product development, and now every company up the totem pole is waiting. But if they drop us, they have to start all over with a new company, so they are patiently waiting.
It's actually lean supply systems. Just on time is great until it's not on time and everything collapses. Tesla is the worst as they don't ever have adequate supply of parts.

Don’t know about the refresh Tesla MS, but my previous EV, the Jaguar I-Pace EV could wade through 21” of water, no problem. Better to raise it up a bit of course though and go slow.

Yeah but look how fast they have scaled. I doubt they slowed down enough to have spare anything.

It's too bad for Tesla that Fry's and radio shack closed.
I think it's a question of priority. They prioritize new car deliveries over parts for existing owner cars for repair and service. Great for new owners but new owners quickly become....
I drove my non air S through 18+ inches and it was no issue but it was nerve wracking. The lip was under water as were most of my wheels.
Car smelled like dead fish until a car wash the next day.

But the fundamental cause of said priorities is that share price and profit drive everything.
