Yeah it's messed up isn't it? I would look at it though as we are lucky to be waiting for cars that are actually being produced thanks to the agility of Tesla in pivoting to new chips. As far as the shortages go, Tesla is in the best position possible. I'm sure swirl marks on those cars will be much, much worse. I mean you go to any dealership and now and it's a desolate wasteland comprising only used cars; it's depressing as Hell. Anytime it may be hard to wait or Tesla is looking lackluster in their performance, it's important to remember that we are all lucky here.Wow no wonder the swirl marks. The completed cars sitting outside in a dirt lot by the freeway for days/weeks, then get a quick wash by the guy getting $15/hr using the same cloth over and over. Wonder how long they sit before they get the white sticky shipping wrap
