Tesla is currently grappling with a massive inventory backlog in the United States, prompting the company to repurpose several unrelated parking lots as 'overflow storage'. As reported by Electrek, Tesla has been compelled to utilize parking lots situated outside its delivery centers due to an overwhelming accumulation of vehicles. Over the past few weeks, it has become common to spot Tesla vehicles parked in lots that are not directly associated with stores, distribution hubs, or service centers. For instance, near St. Louis, Missouri, Tesla has rented out a partially demolished shopping mall parking lot to accommodate hundreds of cars. Comparable scenarios have emerged in locations such as Farmington Hills, Michigan. Despite recent production reductions, Tesla's overall inventory levels remain elevated compared to the previous quarter, with a notable spike in Model 3 stock.
