Literally no other manufacturer in the area is forecasting delays, and all of them have commented as much. Tesla doesn’t have the demand for the US, Chinese, German, AND Texas factory,. It’s just that simple. So they’re stopping production to let consumption catch up, after several quarters in a row of decreasing prices to increase demand.
Tesla famously removed RADAR and Ultrasonics from their cars two years ago in response to supply-chain disruptions
Yet that wasn’t the excuse they gave, which means they’ll happily lie about their motivations even when they’re clear.
due to the union issues
That and the lack of consumer demand in markets already saturated by them. Much like when they said the Chinese factory would only ever serve the Chinese market, and then started selling China production units in Europe. 🤷♂️
