Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[PWRUP]

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.

Yep. Try buying a dishwasher.

Seat Foam Shortage Could Cut Car Production, and Texas Grid Failure Is Blamed

The recent Texas grid shutdown meant oil refineries didn't make byproducts needed for car and truck seating, and now automakers are scrambling for alternatives.

Oh god. I can just picture Tesla employees running over to mattress stores and buying out all their cheapest memory foam products.

For what is worth, talked with SA on phone again today and he said they are still being told to be ready for deliveries in June.

All good. I won’t move you back one space in line.

I figured you all would care to know this:

Just came back from Fremont. Seems that every part of the factory is filled with refresh Model S vehicles but some have been moved since my last flight on Sat. 1 ro-ro had a few S' on it ready to leave the delivery lot. 3&Y seems as usual, lots of deliveries and moving around. Roadrunner parking lot full. Video will be released today to my patreon supporters and tomorrow to the general public.

So I had a conversation with my SA. I asked him if they were able to find the vendors causing supply issues, and if he had any leads on when I will get my MS. I've attached a video of the exchange. He wasn't very helpful.

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.

You can always run to Best Buy and buy all the cables, too.
