The company warned in January that sales growth could be "notably lower" in 2024 as it comes a successful 2023 fueled by price cuts.

Every serious car manufacturer has a backup power source in case something happens (there can always be a bad storm or an accident)

The fact that one burning mast was enough to completely shut down the Tesla factory in Germany just shows how much of their success is just ignoring very realistic risks and then pointing fingers at someone else if stuff happens

A company that makes solar panels and backup batteries doesn’t bother to install them at the factory.

Tesla in Q2

They are blaming the production drop on those, and not making a comment about the sales drop.

The prod drop is probably just that, but it's increasingly clear that Tesla is having difficulty selling the cars they make.

I was fooled by this. I thought this was the onion, but it was real life.

So, Tesla is blaming a reduction on demand... I'm supply difficulties.

They must have the most considerate customers ever
