Tesla has been recognized to have intense end-of-quarter supply pushes as a consequence of its distribution system, which may be very totally different from different automakers who use third-party dealerships.
We anticipated that this quarter can be notably intense as a consequence of a backlog of Mannequin S deliveries as the brand new model has been delayed.
On high of it, over 10,000 vehicles were put on a containment hold final month, which delayed many deliveries till Tesla was in a position to push its new laptop imaginative and prescient system.
Now Electrek has obtained a brand new electronic mail that CEO Elon Musk despatched to workers to ask to go “all out” for the tip of the quarter:
“General, we’re executing effectively, however the subsequent 12 days are tremendous vital for manufacturing and supply this quarter. Please go all out!”
Musk is cautious to not share the precise manufacturing and supply targets, which Tesla has been maintaining to solely an in depth circle during the last 2 years in an effort to keep away from leaks
Tesla goes to launch its manufacturing and supply numbers for the second quarter 2021 in the course of the first week of July.
Right here’s the e-mail in full:
General, we’re executing effectively, however the subsequent 12 days are tremendous vital for manufacturing and supply this quarter. Please go all out!
Thanks,
Elon
Electrek’s Take
Elon is being obscure on objective as he can’t share the precise numbers understanding that they will leak, however we now have to learn between the traces.
It appears like Elon believes that the supply goal is achievable, however the group goes to undergo a fairly intense all palms on deck end-of-the-quarter push in an effort to make it occur.
Now the query is: what’s the supply purpose?
That’s laborious to find out, however I’d anticipate that Tesla goes for an additional supply document, which was achieved final quarter with 185,000 deliveries globally.
Nonetheless, provide chain points have undoubtedly negatively affected Tesla this quarter and it’s not unimaginable that deliveries might really be down from the final quarter as a consequence of decrease manufacturing.
Subsequently, the manufacturing numbers are going to be very fascinating this quarter.
