Part 4/12:
A new rumor suggests that Tesla has produced dozens of refreshed Model 3 units in small batches, hinting at a forthcoming update. Despite this, deliveries are expected to dip in Q3, with estimates indicating fewer than 23,000 units, partly due to reduced shipments from China—only three ships in July compared to April's eight.
Tesla aims to clear existing inventory by September, ahead of the early October launch of the Highland version of the Model 3. This strategic move seems designed to synchronize inventory clearance with the new model rollout, which is anticipated to boost demand.
