Tesla produced 433,371 cars and delivered 386,810.

Does that mean they have trouble selling cars and building a stockpile?

I think so. As I understand it, Tesla have produced to order before. Every car off the line went directly to a customer.

There is nothing wrong with a logistical strategy of pushing products to market (without a demand). It's a reasonable way to be able to push the price down. And I believe that is what Tesla wants to do? Tesla is not supposed to be a luxury brand

If you produce a car, you better sell it. You're in trouble otherwise.

Yes a car is definitely not something that increases in value siting on a shelf ( if you don't believe Musk). But they made the same car for years, so it is the same car as a few years ago? Does it matter if I get one from the shelf or one a year from now really?

it looks like they have trouble selling though. the reason behind the gap is more dangerous than the gap itself.
