Tesla is stuck with over 10,000 cars on factory hold, resulting in a logistical nightmare
https://electrek.co/2021/05/18/tesla-stuck-with-over-10000-cars-factory-hold-resulting-logistical-nightmare/...Sources familiar with the matter told Electrek that Tesla is having an issue at Fremont Factory, resulting in Model 3 and Model Y vehicles coming out of the assembly line with a “containment hold,” which means that they cannot be delivered.
Tesla is keeping the reason for the containment hold close to its chest, but sources familiar with the matter told Electrek that an unknown part is missing.
CEO Elon Musk said last month that Tesla was having significant supply chain issues.
The issue is small enough that it can be fixed by the service team, according to sources, but the problem is the volume and delayed deliveries.
Sources familiar with the matter say that between 10,000 and 20,000 vehicles are affected by the containment hold.
The number could go up, as there were no known fixes nor a timeline for a fix as of yesterday....
