Guns don't kill Teslas, people kill Teslas....So my brother just told me he pulled the trigger on a M3.
Euro logistics problems didn't affect the final numbers much in Q1. Things looked really bad on 3/20, but heroic last minute measures got most of the cars into buyers' hands. Tesla guided that Model 3 deliveries would be 10k less than production in Q1. They ended up with just over 12k. Some cars did spill over from Q1 into Q2, but that happens every quarter. The Q2->Q3 spill over was very similar.Even if we believed InsideEV numbers for Jan, Feb - we didn't know the EU delivery problems would be so bad. If they had managed to deliver 10k more in EU - TSLA would have never seen 180.
The real problem with Q1 was the S/X collapse. They guided 21k and only delivered 12k. That wasn't logistics,
