Thats after they got spacex to buy a large number of them.
Isn't that like 50k x 20k$ (rough costs estimate) = 1B$ of slowly realizing losses?
Most car dealers have months of inventory, Tesla typically has a couple weeks or less. In the grand scheme of things compared to other automakers this is actually tiny, and they are usually on the bottom of the list of OEM inventory.
For Tesla though, this is higher than usual, and unless most of them are in transit to customers, indicative of an issue.
Edit: Just for reference.

Reading Tesla workers shared images from car cameras, including “scenes of intimacy” was enough to put me off Tesla. The build quality being garbage and Musk also being a garbage human being make the company just a complete waste of space.
It's funny how that wasn't really a problem until they found that bond underwater car in a garage recorded by a tesla and it belonged to nazi musk.
I am hoping these end up as ICE vehicles. 🔒 🔥
I think that’s external combustion, but I get your point
Who wants to buy a vehicle that funds the fourth Reich?
The portion of my family that voted for it.
The same portion that doesn't want an EV at all.
I think there was that brief period of interest when Trump turned the White House driveway into a car dealership ad for Elon. But yeah, you're right. They're all gas-fueled motorheads.
This is what I see as well. The pro-musk US group hates EVs. The pro-EV US group hates Elon. Then there's the other 60% of the country that doesn't have a strong enough opinion to post about it online. I am surrounded by new Teslas despite being a in very blue city metro. It's obvious because the 3/Y got a facelift during the height of the musk/trump romance
You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.
I didn’t realize TSLA stock had an upward trend most of last year and is only heading downhill this year.
And if you own one from before, the only responsible thing to do is sell it on the used market to reduce demand for their new cars. You might not get the price you want but come on. You could afford a Tesla; I’m not crying for your pocketbook.
Not only that, you sort of have to hate having money.
With the cyber trucks having shit glued on them all over the place the company just seems laughable.
If I'm putting down (potentially) luxury car money I better damned well have a luxury car.

It seems like there's a market for a company that will buy Teslas ultra cheap, modifies them heavily, then rebadges them like Alpine does for Renault, AMG does / did for Mercedes, Abarth for Fiat, etc.
These days those are all subsidiaries of the main brand, and even before that they had a cooperative relationship with the main brand. But, I can imagine a setup where the main brand doesn't support or approve of what the modifier company does.
I suggest the rebadged name should be Antifa.
Even better, Tesla and all other Musk businesses should be forced into bankruptcy.
Shouldn't a rebadged Tesla be an Edison?
Musk is much more of an Edison than a Tesla. If he'd been honest he would have named his cars Edison. Then, the cool rebadge could have been Tesla. But, even he was smart enough to realize what an asshole Edison was, even if he didn't recognize the Edison in himself.
Already taken.
Considering that they use DC internally Tesla was never a good name.
The Sieg Heiling Space Karen genius could not have foreseen this. Is that right?
