Tesla Having Troubles in Delivering Cars
Tesla build cars in a very fast pace way, but having struggles in delivering them to their customers.
The electric car maker announced on Sunday that it delivered only 78% of the 18,345 cars it built in the second quarter. The difference – a large jump in the number of cars that are on their way to dealers. It said there were 5,150 cars on trucks and ships at the end of the quarter, roughly twice as many as were in transit at the end of the first quarter.
It’s another sign of the growing pains for the upstart automaker, which is preparing to launch its first moderately-priced car, the Model 3, at the end of 2017. The company faces challenges in making the next step toward becoming a mass market automaker rather than the niche luxury automaker it has been up to this point.
