I always found it weird when I worked at Tesla how they had so many finished vehicles piling up in a lot that they had other lots for the overflow. They would constantly remind everyone what “lean manufacturing” is and that all those cars are already sold. So why are they just sitting there and not going to the people that bought them? If I bought a car, and it was finished being built, I would want it ASAP.
That’s what’s catching up to them now and why (as of last week) they had 46,000+ unsold Teslas sitting in storage lots. Now that they have actual competition and most are aware of Musk’s BS, they can’t sell as rapidly as before. But because they (over) built the factories and feel obligated to use them to build shareholder value, they can’t stop the lines without cratering the stock price.

I expect there to be 75,000+ unsold soon.
