Problems at Tesla

There are a couple of problems at Tesla: sales, and the vandalism of chargers.

They are in better shape than most electric vehicle manufacturers, but still having trouble with sales of at least some models. Tesla has so many unsold cars that it's storing them in an an abandoned mall parking lot

Parking lots full of Tesla vehicles are becoming impossible to ignore as the electric automaker seemingly can’t sell enough cars and trucks to match its rate of production. According to its own figures, the electric automaker produced 46,561 more vehicles than it delivered to customers during the first quarter of 2024. Where are all these cars going? Parking lots at its factories, malls and airports.

They are storing 10% of the cars they build.

In other news, criminals have noticed that Tesla charging stations have big copper cables hanging off of them. Thieves cut cables from Tesla charging stations in Vallejo, steal inside material

Thieves are targeting high-powered Tesla and other EV charging stations and stealing the heavy cable for the copper metal inside.

Not the 1st time this particular set of cables has been cut. And not the only chargers targeted.
