I thought it is known that Tesla delivers all their cars at one time.

Just look at the numbers in October. The Model Y is not even in the top 10. Or you can look at the yearly numbers...

One month is not a good timeframe to compare

Weird, that’s crazy if true. Do they just put them all on a single ship? Is it somehow cheaper? Otherwise I’d assume they ship them as they roll off the production line

It's true, you can look at the numbers yourself.

This is related to two things:

  1. A lots of their cars are still shipped in. So one or two ships arriving with thousands of cars each will skew statistics for that month.
  2. Tesla overall has strong pushes at the end of the quarter. If you look at the graphs of their sales it's basically peaks and holes whole year, while most other car makers are more flat. This is mostly left-over from the time they were producing thousands of cars, struggling to survive and every quarter counted. Old habits die hard

Traditionally, all globally sold vehicles (ie outside US) were made in Shanghai and shipped early in the quarter. As the quarter progressed, Shanghai would shift to local deliveries.

They’ve made some efforts to unwind this delivery pattern, and they now make Model Ys for Europe in Germany, but Europe still receives a lot of Chinese exports (and US exports for Model S/X) so the deliveries are still somewhat “lumpy”.

This should continue to smooth out however

They make’em in Berlin?

Then it would make even less sense for them to deliver all at once… is that person full of it?

I think they ramped up production at that factory so perhaps they are thinking a big shift in the number of deliveries reflects something else. If they were shipped from America, I don’t see how they would “all” show up at once. They’d have to stockpile them or something then ship them. Unless they were all on the same boat but that’s unlikely. I dunno what the other fellow is referring to.

It costs money to warehouse product.

Germany was (and still is) serviced mainly by Shanghai, not Fremont

Yes true, I read last week Australia is about to get two shiploads buyers have waited months for. Maybe they wait to have enough orders to ship in bulk and get cheaper shipping bills as a result

That is a nice publicity trick👍

If only there was a linked article that contained the information in the second sentence.

Guess you have to remain ignorant.

Should take your own advice.

Looking at the remaining 90 models, remarkable is the performance scored by the Tesla Model Y in 32nd place, by the Toyota Yaris Cross in 41st, and the new Volkswagen Taigo in 74th.

My own advice? To read the second sentence of the article, which confirms what Leuchty stated?

Ok I did that, how is anything else you are writing in any way relevant now?

All still remains true despite your claim to the contrary.
