Rumor: Tesla Pulling all Inventory on Thursday 10/26

[ValueAnalyst]

To push up your reported earnings for the quarter. Except that this isn't the end of a quarter, so heck I don't know.

hmm... I don't think "pulling" inventory pushes earnings. Selling them could, if sold at a profit, but my understanding is that inventory cars do not produce much profit anyway. I think this is a more strategic move than a financial move, but I'm not sure what the reasoning is... we'll see!

All the black X 100D's have white seats

It moves sitting inventory off the lot and increases unit sales, even if profit is zero.

they had a brand new inventory dark metallic blue 'S' with white seats up in Fremont - my wife would have taken it in an heartbeat - same as the vehicle she ordered except white instead of cream seats - they won't release it for sale. There is a sold profit right there.

I don't see any P100D MS or MX on ev-cpo right now.

Just got a call from Palm Beach Service saying they need to change out my airbag. Told me not to expect a Tesla loaner, as inventory is super-low as sales have been terrific.

For whats it worth the UK site is listing over 80 new inventory model S from the 75, 75D, 90D, 100D.

It looks like inventory is making a return. I checked today and plenty of cars back up after missing.

I wonder what gives?

I’ve heard that Tesla has maxed out slots for 75D custom builds to be built and delivered in 2017. Therefore, they are releasing additional new 75D inventory to compensate for lack of further 2017 custom availability.

Can't do a 75D, once you back out of the driveway your battery is half dead.

They disappeared for a few hours on the 26th but then some showed back up later in the day. Tesla Inventory Search has continued to show available inventory since they were added back later on the 26th. The list of available cars is constantly changing.

Anyone think once we hit closed window for new production orders in 2017 , we see more inventory cars come online and available?

There were plenty of cats that disappeared and I can’t imagine them not being for sale towards year end.

Yes, we've already hit it for the 75Ds and now we have some more in new inventory. I've been told all the 75D custom order spots have been filled. And as a result, we've seen some additional 75D inventory released, especially with hidden inventory. I'd expect we're close (if not there) on the 100Ds as well. In which case we should see more inventory released as we go along - but I'm not sure the floodgates will open as Tesla seems like they really do want to expand the loaner fleet (for now).
