Tesla, as well as the entire US auto industry is seeing reduced demand.

I'm not sure why CTs are there, I imagine it's short term for them. All CT go into storage for a few days/weeks before delivery. Currently there isn't a demand shortage for the CT.

THIS IS AN OLD VIDEO!!!

The video is from May, before the end of the quarter.

For reference, Tesla has 18 days worth of inventory, the lowest of any car manufacturer in the country...

Isn't this just one if their off site storage locations? Multiple SCs will move cars to one for vehicle exchanges, long term storage needs, repairs, etc. The CT are probably ones that had glaring issues and were swapped out with a different VIN before delivery.

It’s offsite storage before vehicles are delivered.

Most Tesla galleries and stores have small-ish parking lots as they don’t carry much inventory. During a delivery wave, they use offsite parking to handle the influx, typically rail yard lots, parking garages, etc.

Compare that to a Ford dealer that has a few hundred cars on the lot all the time in the front. And another lot for other cars in the rear. They deal with very few special orders and most everything is inventory to sit on the lot, or replace some inventory that was sold.

Tesla needs to secure their parking lots from random people just coming in.

lol! We can’t conclude sales volume based on vehicles parked in the storage location. The facility is meant to store vehicles. Can’t expect anything else than rows and rows of Teslas. They could be vehicles getting delivered. Earnings call is the right source to know sales volume. CT demand is insanely strong. This might impact other Tesla models but definitely CT is doing good. Most reservation holders are waiting for non foundation series.

It could just be a QA lot as well, cars that had something wrong that need to be fixed before being sold. Many manufacturers have these instead of stopping the assembly line to fix an issue, they move it to a QA lot.
