it is not growing inventory, it is not selling inventory
😂😂right
To whom? Invisible customers?
@edwardp3502
hes saying no one is buying u dolt
Tesla's have been showing up at the Buena Park Mall in Southern California for 2 years at the dead Sears building
Tesla has over flow lots. Their show rooms usually don’t have the capacity. Tesla ramps up and down production as needed. These are most likely sold. They just don’t roll off a truck into someone’s hands.
A bunch of cars NOBODY wants parked at a place NOBODY goes to. PERFECT!!
Damn..came to say the same thing..Dad, is that you???
Awesome comment plane and simple🎉

Gas car companies are struggling too! Everyone’s broke because of Bidenomics!
Everyone wants and noone can afford right now, the interest is too damn high!
Nobodys got any f*cking money!
True! And the money you have has lost its purchasing power. More money for Ukraine and Israel anyone???
We are paying about 1,000 avg more every month than 2021. Bidenomics working as intended.
Well we do. But it’s smart to just not buy until the prices are reasonable
@@mariogonzales1417where did you get that number?
That’s right thank you Biden
This could be a reason why 14K just lost their jobs. Its a supply and demand issue.
Stock price at previous 4 yr level.
Reason is Elon turned on its liberal friends and they dont buy his cars anymore
Musk makes crappy cars. He the alienated a massive chunk of his customer base by being an Edgelord to "own the Libs". The Libs laughed and moved on and now EV sales from other makers are catching up.
Ice trucks have piled up- now ev is piling up. Consumers are pushing back against insane prices
The initial EV surge is over... they can't give them away now.
I'm homeless with a wrecked Ford Focus hatchback... I'll take a free Tesla 😂
Tesla are hyped up cars, like like iPhone are hyped up phones 🤡🤣
And like a phone, the batteries will crap out over time forcing you to buy a whole new car because the battery will cost more than the value of the car.
Duh
And the Chinese garbage EVs that explode are the androids 🤣🤣🤣
@Mr-Clark ten thousand types of androids🤡 and not 1 apple car yet produced 🤣. Oh wait apple just sent out a statement to all users not to charge thier phones overnight in fear of iPhone exploding due to over charging 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waiting to charge 😂
A diesel powered charging vehicle would sneak in at night 🤣
Same here in California, they have parked many many new tesla cars at mall parking lots, They also have a massive used teslas at some malls ,Nobody wants to buy these anymore. I owned a model Y for 3 years that was enough, Glad i dumped my lease and went back to Hybrid, Yes Toyota Hybrid .
I thought there were long waiting lists for that truck? Why are three sitting there rusting at an abandoned mall?
There are thousands of cyber trucks sitting at giga factories undelivered to dealerships because orders have been cancelled.
@@mikemccormick8115So you know this how?
Aerial photos. Do a search. See for yourself. Like local news (from where I don’t recall) reporting hundreds of unsold Teslas, many over a year old, occupying huge closed mall parking lot. If you’re a fan boy you’re not clicking on the reality that EV demand has leveled off. Tesla laying off 10% of their employees (so far) and more to come. Multiple price cuts trying to reduce unsold inventory. The EV party is over. The evidence is everywhere. People have awoken.

Anybody notice the similarities of a Tesla driver 🤔
It's a lack of testosterone due to their sugary diets.
Mostly soft, geeky guys.

So hate much?
Wow, thats not cool to catergorize ppl
Resale value, is a big thing. And resale for EV cars is terrible. Wonder why Hertz got rid of so many thousands of EV 's. And this week Tesla laid off its super charging team (500 employees). And is canceling most if its intern program.
They just lost 40% of their value so they gotta cut costs somewhere.
Hertz got rid of their cars because of their policy of requiring the cars to be fully charged when returning. Also they were charging premium rates for the rental. If you rent an EV enterprise or national it is no different then renting a mid size car and you drop off without having to charge. Hertz sw EV's as nothing but a money grab.
It’s battery swap by NIO and lack of quality of Tesla’s cars that is driving the company into the ground.
Ray is an ignorant munkei, but he is too dumb to realized it. Yes, I misspelled that word.
@@felixvandijk5440NIO? What has NIO released?
Cars are priced ridiculously high, so ordinary people can’t afford them. Lower prices and the inventory will disappear.
Regular blue collar folks who don’t earn 100k+ are not going to gamble on this stupid idea of owning an EV, given that the sticker price, insurance, and repairs would bankrupt them. Not to mention the battery may be done after 5-6 years.
No they won’t.
If ev mfg’s lower prices they lose money. EV’s are very expensive to manufacture. You’ll just have to get used to the new normal.
@@robertherman1146you know who doesn’t lose money on evs ? Tesla the other manufacturers lose money because they simply can’t compete and are not nearly as advanced
A Tesla is literally cheaper than a Toyota Prius
I assume they aren't selling and stacking them up there. No one wants them.
You may be right but most people have no idea the Tesla Model Y is now the leading selling car in the world, EV or Gas passing such cars as Toyota's Carolla and Camry. And to think Tesla doesn't advertise.

Ahh yes, a natural disaster caused by a man made object, the English is Englishing very nicely 👍🏾
There’s another 400 teslas at the Roosevelt field mall in Westbury, that’s in addition to another 200 completely filled up in their own lot. Not just this mall I’m sure it’s many malls all over the country. They’re not selling the cars whatsoever.
I thought they were just at the old Bed Bath and Beyond. There’s another 100 or more there
The environmentalists and the tech savvy people ran out and bought into a dream without doing their homework. The rest of us are just sitting back and watching-using the guinea pigs. Time will tell.

Lol true.

I live downtown and consider all cars bugs. Why should a healthy young person sit in an ugly metal aquarium half his day unless he sees him or herself as an insect.
at $25,000 maybe they would sell them
Maybe $19,999. Maybe. (2024)
They are selling the cars that cheap. Bottom line-no one wants them.
If it’s 1000 mile range, I’ll bite 😅.
Sad they are tearing down the Mall. I wasted many of my teenage years there.
if they don't charge them battery is ruined, car is for scrap yard.
That cost a ton of money to, park. It's unsold, aging, exposed to the weather inventory.

If you want to purchase a Tesla, now is the time. Oh wait...WAIT a year, and the prices will be down ANOTHER ten percent.
You can buy a model Y for 29K now. You literally can't get any cheaper than that
@@CalebTheFew06
Literally?
Yea, sure...
@@CalebTheFew06supply and demand…. The only time cars ever appreciate in value was during the pandemic. The older the car gets the less it’s worth so just wait a year.
Never buy a new EV. They depreciate rapidly. Save 50% and buy one just 2 years old. There are Model S for 14k now, before negotiating.
And then it goes bankrupt as soon as you buy with no way to service and to get parts?
So those cyberbuck lemons went from being on order years in advance to now pilling up because absolutely nobody wants to buy one, eh? Meanwhile over at Toyota lots, people are STILL fighting for the GOAT- The Prius. 😎
You're right, most people are not ready to buy a fully electric car. They will probably buy a plug in hybrid vehicle.
The cybertrucks are grounded for a recall. The rest just aren't selling well enough.
There is no Tesla dealership.
There is a brand new dealership (Tesla) in my suburb in MN
🤔What then is a "Tesla Store"? According to the Tesla website, there are 240 such stores, and they each say, "Schedule a Demo Drive". The first few I pulled up on Google Maps look like regular dealerships with a service department and new car inventory.
@jetscreamer1: Which is almost relevant. Tesla overbuilt.
@@pabs5270Tesla does not have dealerships. They do have showrooms, service centers as well as collision centers (body shops).
@@pabs5270they're called Service Centers
All those EVs parked so close together. Watch the massive explosion when just one battery blows.
Insurance scam coming
@stoundingresults yeah that makes some sense.
Unless deliberately caused, none of those cars would ever explode, you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@Cynlixal😂😅
Boom! Adios Muchachos!
They make it sound like Tesla is the only one that does this. A lot of other manufacturers also rent out lots when they receive excess inventory
Its free advertising
To fill the parking lot, Tesla would only need to run the factory 5 hours
My friends are going there tonight to get some new parts. Anyone need truck tires?
Spoken like a genuine sociopathic thief!
I leased a Model Y for 2 years. I love driving it and all the tech. But it doesn't feel like a premium product.

@@AnhTran-cl9fqthey arent
And there they shall remain forever as the supply far outstrips the plummeting demand
Nobody is buying cars 😂😂😂 only fools would make big purchases in such an economy 😊
Good luck getting a charge for all those cars!! 😳😆😆😆
I guess some guy would need to drive the car to charge every 2 weeks.
Follow up in six months Andy. We want sales numbers.
Better hope all 400 don’t need a charge at the same time.
So do they need to take a charger with them to move the Cars after sitting does those Batteries hold the Charge for a while >
@@lassiejr2115 good question. I don’t know.
This is common for Tesla. The one near me uses the mall across the street as well
There's a recall on some of them where you're not even supposed to drive them and since the dealer doesn't have enough room they have to find different parking lots. All the "inventory" vocabulary is just playing with words to hide the truth. The mechanic shortage + The part shortage isn't helping the situation.
Now you know the reason that Tesla laid off 14,000 employees, probably more like 20,000 when it's done. Demand for Tesla EV's have fallen off a cliff and I doubt seriously that a full self-driving Robo Taxi can rescue this company.
Sell your stock now, then. Others know what value those shares will have by 2027. Humanoid robots, next generation smaller car, full self-driving mode, robotaxis, the energy business will all be winners for Tesla.
@@lukeknowles5700 Don't forget the throttle that sticks and sends you to the morgue.
@@frankblangeard8865 Teslas don't have throttles, Frankie. Might you be referring to the accelerator pedal? Which has already been resolved, by the way.
These are probably awaiting delivery
My local mostly closed mall rents space to park Amazon delivery trucks whey they are not being used. the local news does not cover that fact.
That's great, but why would it be relevant to the news story? Is Amazon trying to sell their brand new delivery trucks? I think not. PS: And those Amazon Electric delivery vans are some clown car looking vehicles as well.
@@NVRAMboi A news crew is reporting on a parking lot being used to park vehicles, maybe they can have an in-depth three-part series on watching grass grow
@@DaxVJacobsonNah. Watching Tesla fail is schadenfreude overload. It couldn't have happened to a better edgelord -Skunk.... I mean, Musk.
Dead retail malls, Amazon trucks? Foreshadowing at its best.
The media's mindset is Bezos=good, but Elon or Trump is bad.
I DIDNT THINK THEY COULD PUT SO MUCH GARBAGE IN A PARKING LOT
Funny thing is, they could easily lower the price and still pull a profit. They’re just stubborn
Also at Moreno Valley mall parking lot. Probably around 2,000 Tesla’s just parked😢
Everyone that wanted one already has one now. Market saturation has already occurred.
Then how do you explain the model Y being the best-selling car worldwide in 2023?
They are not selling anymore
Huge dealership/ service centre on Hwy 400 just south of Barrie Ontario, sometimes 50 cars in lot.
If this keeps up E-Lawn might deliver the $25,000 car he promised 🙂
Time for a twenty thousand dollar rebate.
Its usual for Tesla to batch up cars and send in batches to different regions
They are piling up here in Raleigh NC as well, our office building complex is FULL of them
They can't sell them. Tesla sales are down by a quarter and Tesla trucks are recalled.
just need to fix a simple pedal.
FUN FACT: you can see the exact same massive "off site parking" of Teslas at the Quakerbridge Mall on RT. 1 in New Jersey near Princeton (yeah i have the pics on my phone). if you know the "high rent" nature of this area, then you know how all the nearby Auto Dealerships are LAUGHABLY pressed for land/real estate space. the nearby Tesla, Porsche, and Polestar franchises are located directly across the highway from this Mall....
oh also parked in the lot of this same Mall you will find a smaller section containing about 20-30 brand new gas Acuras since that dealer is located on this same stretch of road, albeit 2 to 3 miles south of the Mall (i have those pics too).
Same here in the SF Bay Area. The local BART (light rail) parking lot is full of Teslas and some empty office parking lots as well.
There's 9-10 different companies using those lots till it closes, but hey let's just use Tesla in the title.
Oh god it’s a muskrat
How much do they all depreciate when it rains?
They use these offsites everywhere it’s not new. We rarely deliver to the service centers.
People think Tesla just delivers to service centers as the cars come out. These cars have been ordered and reserved. Someone is scheduled to pick them up at a later date.
Definite signs the EV fad is fading fast. Hybrid makes way more sense.
FULL ICE MAKE EVEN MORE SENSE
Cyber trucks look like they were made in a high school metal shop.
Its an overflow lot for sold cars. Tesla only has 2 car factories in the US so all cars get transported from rail to lots and overflow, then loaded on semi and hauled to the showroom or service center for pickup.
They do this because NEWS flash... they don't have dealerships and therefore dealer lots.
Well NEWS flash, these are overflow un sold and un allocated cars. They dont have a destination yet.
🤣🤣🤣Tesla, who makes their cars in enormous high-tech GigaFactories, on gigantic parcels of land, needs to resort to storing "sold" cars at a random, closed mall? Got a source for this bit of information? How are Tesla sales right now? Why are they laying off 10% of their workforce?
*@syspowertools3372* : You gonna smoke that or you gonna talk? Puff puff pass, whatnot.
Exactly this is nothing new. I've seen that with other vehicle brands in Kansas city
Volkswagen did the same thing in my area before the lockdowns and prices were lower
"Growing inventory" and it will keep growing. Tesla is in serious trouble - EV's are proving to be a real pita for owners, and little or nothing back when they try to trade them in.
The model Y was the best-selling car worldwide last year. You should learn the facts before you embarrass yourself in the chat.
They can drive for 15 years and it'd still be as good as new.
Over stock
They have 17 days of inventory. The rest of the auto industry has 50
@@syspowertools3372 after 17 days, they just move to different locations.. so still call overstock .
Imagine being responsable as the key keeper😂
Tesla is the best car company ever! No maintenance, no gas stations, no smog checks, no oil changes, #1 in reliability, #1 in cost of ownership, quiet and 0-60 in 1.9 seconds like a $2,500,000 Rimac Nevera.
Kind of hard to wear one out when the battery is dead most of the time…
Consumer Reports ranked Tesla 28/32 for reliability - nearly the lowest.
If you want reliability, buy Toyota or Lexus.
DID JOE BIDEN TELL YOU TO SAY THAT?
This is laughable!
Biden fan I see....................
Not just Tesla, a lot of car manufacturers are starting to pile up on inventory, and they aren’t selling as fast as they should. Prices, interest rates & the economy itself is crazy. The government wants to slow people down from buying cars & houses.
They're waiting to invent an unlimited energy source.
Because we're in a recession and people are broke!!
Exactly 💯
What recession? Lots of jobs, just need the right qualifications.
@@Trust_but_Verify Wake up and smell the inflation 😒
@Trust_but_Verify Lots of part-time jobs. Also, lots of layoffs and things are only getting worse day by day. Wake up!!
No we are not. Educate your self before posting.
Even if you can afford to buy one, you still need to figure out how to pay for the sky high insurance and repair cost for EV. Not to mention how long it takes to get charged. And good luck if you live in place where it snows in winter. Your Tesla battery can lose charge and can’t be start overnight.
Battery prices come down every year while battery capabilities improve every year. Charge times for current generation EVs has improved.
I want a cyber beast now!
The cyber trucks that the owners are not allowed to sell 😂
Not selling! And the Cyber Truck (not really a truck) being Elons biggest ill conceived boondoggle that'll cost Tesla dearly!
It's sadly due to most Tesla fans not having the extra $100k to complete their collection of all the different models.
The technology in the Cybertruck is so far ahead of competitors, and what they've learned about castings and assembly processes will be used in future, lower cost vehicles.
When people start using their autonomous-capable Tesla EVs in robotaxi fleets in the hours when they are not using the car personally, earning income for it, you will wish you had one.
@@lukeknowles5700 I'll be busy holding my breath till that happens too.
Some of you in the comments are going to be very upset when you learn to read.
Jus don't stand too close if the weather turns exceptionally hot, it could look like the end scene form the Punisher 2004.
that's why they parked them next to a demolition site, they were refused everywhere else most likely.
Boutta go get me a cybertruck! Terrible for 100k, pretty decent for 0 dollars though!
They are also using the Moreno Valley Mall.
Its just a staging, these cars have been sold already and are awaiting final delivery to the buyers.
Tesla doesnt have dealerships where cars sit around for 6 months waiting to be bought.
conveniently, this staging takes place in a demolition site...safe and effective...
Sales plummeting.
It's a Tesla Car Club meet.
Already sold to customers
...so I guess Elon shouldn't have fired all the people preparing and delivering them then, huh?
Im surprised they didnt fence off the parking lot
Its a teslayard
Here are a couple hundred Teslas parked outside the Moreno Valley Mall. Haven’t seen the Cyber Truck.

Supply AND DEMAND.... Wake Up....... TREND IS OVA.
Tesla only delivers cars to service centers that have been reserved to buy at a scheduled appt. This parking lot is being used, because the space at the service center is limited.
@@RxPharmer Obviously you have not paid attention to the latest economy reports regarding EV's...... I was not surprised due to myself not ever wanting to own an EV ... However I would possibly own a hybrid... In 2012 I was involved with an individual that owned a Plug-in hybrid..... On many occasions after the hybrid was plugged in ..... the hybrid still would not charge.... Having a back up gas engine was truly beneficial...
@strictlyaesthetic9202 The way Tesla operates with delivering vehicles has nothing to do with economic reports on EVs. If Tesla has a pile of cars on a random parking lot in St Louis, that means customers have already reserved those specific vehicles. A more dire situation for Tesla would mean there would be no cars on a random parking lot in St Louis.
Side Note: I've had a model 3 for almost 3 years and never had that issue. We just traded my wife's ICE in in October for a model X. Hybrids suck. Should've just stuck with a gas car.
Also you're giving a story from 2012. This is 2024. Why would things be the same way they were 12 years ago?
Sales of scars are slowing, as people wake up. Thus the inventory backlog. Don't buy an ev..
price cut is coming!
Again.
The Tragedy here is not the Tesla - it's the dead Sears stores across America 😢
I saw the samething at Franklin TN mall with Hyundai's
I used to work logistics at Tesla, and I can tell you that they just can not get it done. I tried my very hardiest to get them to change to system because it just was not viable.
The way they handle, process and unload cars off of trucks is a complete mad house. parking lots filled with cars that are not even ready to go out to there owners for another month. which takes about valuable space for cars are are ready to go out in the next week.
I remember all the overtimes working and playing terries just trying to get all these cars trying to fit into a single lot, without overflowing.
Thats when I realized to get out, because upper management is just not going to listen. especially not going to want to listen to someone levels below them.
I love this company with all my heart and own a few of the cars myself and solar as well as power wall.
I don’t know why people are so clueless. Let me break it down for you all in layman’s terms.
-Other than the CyberTrucks, the majority of those cars are extra inventory, waiting for a hopeful prospective buyer.
-This is why if/when you order one, they tell you that you probably won’t have to wait a few months for it to be built, because they can search around and likely find/pull your exact build, already made, from a nearby lot.
-ARGUMENT OVER WITH!!!
The South Asians here in the Austin area can't buy enough of them apparently. I thought I saw a Tesla Car Meet just last weekend, turned out it was a cricket match.

From a corporate finance perspective, Tesla is hiding monthly manufacturing costs on the balance sheet as Inventory (Finished Goods). It temporarily makes the company look more profitable. The costs do not hit the income statement until the units are sold.
This is how cost accounting works. And Tesla is using legal accounting rules to temporarily prop up the stock. You hope to sell the finished goods later, when income is better.
LOL You learn this in college business classes in Management Accounting!
