I’m guessing it’s still a production line test unit, but it seems like the design is finalized and volume production could actually begin by the end of the year

    My wife hopped a curb in our Model X last November. It’s still in the shop waiting for parts.

    As much as I love that car, I wouldn’t recommend anyone consider a Tesla until they get their supply chain in order. Shit happens and cars get damaged; having to wait 9 months for repairs is hilariously unacceptable.

      That’s not just a Tesla problem. I had to wait half a year for Acura to get parts to fix my car. At least it was (only) a safety feature and the car was still driveable during that time, but that is a ridiculous wait. Companies leaning out with their "just in time"supply chains have really come back to bite them in the ass over the past few years.
