Very good point. I had completely forgotten about the crazy long shutdown with the "Plaid" transition.Those production numbers s/x can be misleading without context. The line for the S and X was shut down for many months as they transitioned to the refreshed models. Like Rivian, they would have sold many more if they could have built them. Demand wasn't the issue. For example, if you order an X today, you're looking at a March 2023 delivery at the earliest. That said, I'm still shocked there is enough demand at current prices. I optioned out a new Model X with the same features we have on the one we purchased in 2018 and the price has gone up $48,000! There's no way we would have paid $137k for a Model X. I do love when Tesla raises the price though. It's like free money. I can sell our used Model X today for more than we paid for it four years ago. Bonkers.
