Parking Problem: Tesla's Unsold Electric Cars
Sat Dec 14 2024
This: in early 2024, Tesla found itself with a bunch of unsold electric cars. The number? Around 46, 500. That's a lot of cars just sitting around! These cars weren't just in the US, but also in places like Germany. Satellite images showed them stacked up in parking lots and storage facilities. Tesla said they were trying to sell these extra cars, but this situation has people questioning if there's enough demand for Tesla's electric vehicles in the future.
The company made about 433, 000 cars but could only sell around 386, 000. This left them with a big stack of unsold cars. It's not just a US problem; these unsold cars are in other countries too, like Germany. Pictures from satellites show these cars piled up in parking lots and storage areas. Tesla says they're working on selling these extra cars, but this situation has people wondering if there will be enough demand for Tesla's electric cars in the future.
