Supply chain issues have stopped production until August 5th. All it takes is a train derailment, truck overturning, or a stuck cargo ship to cause weeks of backlog.
I don't race people, but if I had a nickel for every time a Tesla thought I was racing them, floored it, and drove into a tree, I'd have $0.10. People in Chargers and Camaros will rev at Ecoboosts, they're just bored, don't lose your license over it.

Seems so, my email said "August 5" but my schedule date was "July 29". Website updated Friday to schedule "August 5", so everything last week of July got bumped to August.
